Tools for Live Images

Estimating the pore size using live digital reticules (Cross section of die casting)

The software supports live image functions for instant feedback. The software enables you to interact with the live image, which is automatically calibrated, and perform quantitative measurements.

Quick Panorama and Extended Depth Focus

Quickly create images of samples that extend beyond the standard depth of focus or the field of view. The instant extended focus image (EFI) function uses the fine focus adjustment to combine many images taken at different Z-levels to build a single combined image that is entirely in focus. Instant multiple image alignment (MIA) makes it easy to create panoramic images simply by moving the XY stage; a motorized stage is no longer necessary.

Instant EFI image of crystal: fully focused image is created even in low-contrast sample areas

Recall Acquisition Setting

Quickly recall previously used camera settings to capture repeatable images with a consistent look and feel. When using a motorized microscope, this function can automatically recall previous hardware settings. If you’re using a BX, GX, or MX series microscope, the software guides you to manually recall settings.

3D Solution

3D profilometry of wear track

This solution creates height maps from stacks of images acquired automatically or manually at different Z positions. The resulting image can be visualized in three dimensions using the surface view. Measurements, such as 3D profiles and height differences between two or several points, can be performed, and the results exported into workbooks and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.

Guided Operation for Specific Analyses

The software guides you through the correct order of functions when performing image analysis, including methods that comply with most common international standards. When using a motorized stage, the alignment feature speeds up your work on multiple sample locations.

Automatic Calibration

The automatic calibration feature uses a standard micrometer to calibrate the microscope and automatically generates a calibration report. This helps eliminate user variability in the calibration process for more reliable measurements.

Automated Inspection Tools

The software’s automated tools can create a very large set of data in just a few minutes. Automatic magnification calibration using a calibrated grating reticle helps ensure that your images are displayed with the proper scale bar and that your measurements are confirmed. Large areas can be imaged automatically using motorized XYZ stages, enabling the creation of images of large parts with high resolution.

Quantitative Information That Matters

The software tools features quantitative information about your sample. Interactive measurements on live and still images provide the basic dimensional information (length, area, and diameter), and the results are directly visible on the image.
Advanced interactive measurements include the magic wand and complex polygonal shapes for semiautomatic area measurement, while the count and measure solution provides access to more than a one-hundred single particle parameters for quantitative analysis based on the threshold method.

Efficient Report Creation

Creating a report often takes longer than capturing the image and taking the measurements. With the software, you can repeatedly produce smart and sophisticated reports based on predefined templates. Editing is simple, and reports can be exported to Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. In addition, the software’s reporting tool enables digital zooming and magnification on acquired images. Report files are a reasonable size for easier data exchange by email.

Resolution and Color Fidelity

The low-noise, high-resolution images of a 9-megapixel sensor enable the user to zoom deep into the sample, revealing its structures (sandstone)

Excellent spatial resolution combined with a high pixel count exploit the full optical resolution of the objectives and enable the structures and details within the smallest samples to be imaged, even with low magnification objectives. High-definition images enable you to make observations exclusively on-screen without using the eyepieces.

Reveal More with Infrared (IR)

Dedicated Observation Methods for Materials Science

HDR imaging for enhanced contrast

High dynamic range (HDR) imaging improves image contrast in difficult conditions (very bright areas together with very dark areas in the same image). All cameras supported by OLYMPUS Stream software can be used in this mode, and dedicated cameras have an available live mode.

Clearly exposed for both dark and bright parts by HDR (Sample: fuel injector bulb)

Contrast enhancement by HDR (Sample: Sliced magnesite)

MIX observation to visualize sample’s surface structure

The software supports our MIX observation

This illumination technique combines directional darkfield, which uses a circular LED to illuminate one or more quadrants at a given time, , and brightfield, fluorescence, or polarization, enabling you to highlight defects and differentiate raised surfaces from depressions that are normally difficult to see with conventional microscopes. MIX observation helps reduce a sample’s halation and is useful for visualizing a sample’s surface texture.


Conventional: brightfield shines the light straight down on the sample while traditional darkfield highlights scratches and imperfections on a flat surface by illuminating the sample from the side of the objective			Advanced: MIX is a combination of brightfield and directional darkfield from a ring of LEDs; the LEDs can be adjusted to select which direction to illuminate from
