How much quantitative information are you extracting from your SEM images?
SEM imaging is widely used to visualize particles, microstructures, patterns and materials. But with the right analysis tools, those images can also provide quantitative and reproducible information, from particle size and shape to structural deviations and fiber orientation.
In this practical, application-focused webinar, Benoit will explore three different SEM image-analysis applications and demonstrate how Mountains® software can help turn images into meaningful, repeatable results.
You’ll see how to:
- Improve SEM images and prepare them for quantitative analysis
- Analyze nanoparticles using AI-based segmentation and classification
- Detect and characterize repeating patterns in photonic crystals
- Extract contours, fit shapes and quantify deviations
- Calculate and visualize RMS deviations and manufacturing tolerances
- Analyze fiber orientation and investigate the influence of mechanical constraints
- Create reusable analysis workflows and apply them to new datasets
- Generate statistics across multiple SEM image datasets
The demonstrations will show how different image-analysis techniques can be combined to answer practical questions about your samples and how analysis workflows can be automated to make results faster, more consistent and reproducible.
This webinar is designed for anyone working with SEM images, from beginners looking to discover what is possible to experienced users wanting to expand or automate their analysis workflows. You don’t need to be a Mountains® user to benefit from the session.
And while Mountains® offers much more than image analysis – including powerful tools for 3D reconstruction from SEM images – this webinar will focus on the many other ways you can extract quantitative information from your SEM data.
