What’s inside MountainsLab®

Data confluence
Bring together data from multiple instruments, speed up analysis by using one single software program and ensure you are generating meaningful results from your data.
Compatible with any instrument
Process data from 2D and 3D profilometers, scanning electron microscopes (SEM), scanning probe microscopes (SPM)/atomic force microscopes (AFM) and spectrometers. Open hundreds of file formats covering profiles, surfaces, images, multi-channel files, force curves, hypercubes, etc.
Correlative analysis
Perform correlative analysis quickly and easily. Use the MountainsLab® colocalization feature to combine and overlay images and other data from different instruments.
Surface texture analysis
Use application-specific tools for analyzing surface texture. Access advanced filters, parameters and other tools for profiles, series of profiles and surfaces.
Advanced particle analysis
Detect and quantify particles, pores, grains and other image features of any shape and size on any surface and from any instrument. Group particles into classes based on characteristics and generate statistics.
Generate statistics
Generate statistics for static or dynamic data populations. Create statistics reports and let MountainsLab® detect and update data automatically. Display control charts, histograms, scatter plots and more.
Advanced contour analysis
Automatically generate dimensions of profiles, compare profiles with CAD data in DXF format or user-defined nominal form and graphically display form deviations.
Force spectroscopy
Analyze force curves and force volume. Detect adhesion force, apply Wormlike chain (WLC) models for protein unfolding, generate Young’s Modulus map etc.
Raman & IR spectroscopy
Visualize & analyze spectra & hypercubes obtained using Raman & IR spectrometers, CITS etc.
SEM image colorization
Add color to objects in SEM images in just a few clicks. Automatic object detection. Save time compared with using photo editing software.
3D SEM image reconstruction
Generate 3D surface topography from two successive tilted scans of your sample or 4 images scanned by a 4-quadrant detector. Get approximate 3D rendering from a single image. All in a matter of seconds.
Learn & teach
Access tutorials and ready-to-use templates adapted to each different instrument type. Easily teach new colleagues about surface and image analysis routines.

Stories

Applications

Bio-fuels research – fat stored in bacteria

During the last decade, research has shown that bio-oil fermentation by micro-organisms is a promising potential source of bio-fuel. Its renewability makes it a good alternative to bio-fuel production.
Applications

Analyzing roughness of glass subjected to acid attacks

The goal of the NanoRef programme, involving multiple partners (LP-Cnam, INM, LPUB, Institut Fresnel, Novasic and LNE), is to develop a roughness standard with a quasi-continuum spatial frequency spectrum and to define the appropriate machining and polishing processes.
Applications

Characterizing the silicon dangling bond

Bruno Grandidier, research scientist with the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), reports on his work, focused on understanding the electronic properties of silicon dangling bonds.
Applications

Uncovering the huge potential of graphene oxide membranes

Recently, graphene oxide nanostructures have attracted great interest due to their exceptional physicochemical properties for many applications, including flexible electronics and water purification.

What People Are Saying

Dr Claudiu Giusca

Dr Claudiu Giusca

Senior Lecturer in Sensor Technology for Precision In-process Measurement, Cranfield University

Mountains® is able to read specific files from different instrument manufacturers meaning it allows us to compare the results within the same visual platform. We like how results are visualized and when it comes down to applying your operators, the software is intuitive.
