SEM image analysis software you can rely on

Colorize SEM images easily:

• Go from black and white to color in just a few clicks
• Objects are detected automatically and colorized by the software
• No need to create layers or play with transparency

Correct and enhance SEM images:

• smooth
• remove artefacts
• fix lighting
• adjust brightness and contrast

• Switch from standard 2D images to “topographic” models
• Reconstruct a 3D model from two successive tilted scans of your sample in just a few seconds
• Obtain accurate height values from good quality stereo pairs
• Evaluate surface texture, surface roughness etc.

• Upgrade your SEM images to 3D in seconds
• Generate a 3D model from 4 images obtained using a four-quadrant detector and visualize otherwise invisible details
• Achieve enhanced rendering by overlaying the combined SEM image on the 3D topography at a user-defined transparency level

• Calculate line edge roughness (LER) and line width roughness (LWR) parameters on the edges of bands detected in SEM images
• Detect bands using thresholding, the Canny method (to compensate unequal charging effect on edges) or detect bands between trims (when grey level varies little)
• Calculate parameters relative to Critical Dimension analysis: band width, pitch
• Process large quantities of data using Mountains® automation tools (more details in this article)

• Build spectacular 3D renderings associating EDS (EDX) maps or other spectral/compositional data with SEM images (or topography if available)
• Highlight surface properties & composition
• Access a wide range of rendering options (palettes, color mixing, transparency etc.)

• Load, display and analyze volume electron microscopy image series (FIB-SEM, serial block-face SEM, array tomography etc.) as 3D voxel cubes
• Associate tomography and chemical analysis
• Slice through the inside of your materials: choose segmentation and animation settings
• Produce 3D particle and grains statistics from your 3D voxel cubes

• Quickly identify and quantify features in virtually any SEM image
• Benefit from dedicated SEM-SE and SEM-BSE image segmentation & object detection
• Calculate over 70 different characteristics (area, perimeter, diameter etc.) and sort them into user-defined classes
• Generate statistics and create control charts, scatter plots, histograms etc.

• Quantify individual fibers whether they are separate, touching or overlapping.
• Analyze SEM images (SE & BSE modes) of a wide variety of samples
• Detect fibers & interstices automatically using dedicated detection methods
  • Carry out analysis of fiber morphology and display:
    –   Histogram of fiber diameters
    –   A table of parameters for individual fibers and interstices including:
    *   Fiber diameter (mean, min, max, standard deviation)
    *   Average fiber direction (or fiber orientation)
    *   Interstice diameter

• Combine SEM images from different detectors (SE + BSE) or with data from other measurement instruments (AFM/SPMs, 3D optical microscopes) for correlative analysis
• Colocalize your SEM images with spectral analysis data (EDX, Cathodoluminescence…) and build impressive chemical maps
