This module enables you to compare microscope images with chart series from the most important standards available. The following standards are supported:

Application

Standard

Grain Size Analysis

  • ASTM E 112 - 13 (Plate I - IV)
  • DIN EN ISO 643:2020
  • GB/T 6394 - 2017 (Plate I-IV)

Cast Iron Analysis

The software will be shipped including the following functionality:

  • Comparative Diagrams
  • Using this workflow you can perform image comparison according to the available standards. Usually an image acquisition is performed followed by the comparison of the acquired (or loaded) image and the charts series from the desired standard, see Comparative Diagrams.
  • Comparative Diagrams Live
  • Using this workflow you can directly compare the live image from the microscope with the chart series from a selected standard, see Comparative Diagrams Live.
  • Chart Series Creator
  • Using the chart series creator you can create your own, customized chart series for comparing them with your images. This is helpful if you do not want to work with the default charts from the standards but use your own individual comparison images, see Chart Series Creator.

Please make yourself familiar with the common functions and operating principles of the software before you start working with the module. We recommend to read the full Online Help and User Manual carefully in addition to the specific chapters concerning this module.
