LAS X Grain Expert Software: Grain Analysis with Outstanding Accuracy and Reproducibility

The imaging environment provided by the LAS X grain expert module allows users to quicklyanalyzeStructures made of steel and other materials. A large number of structures and sample types can be studied using highly accurate edge detection algorithms.

In addition, the software module also includes traditional stereological methods such as Heyn linear intercept, Jeffries plane, and Abrams 3-cycle step. These methods will be automatically applied for directly calculating grain size. The traditional stereological method estimates grain size through one-dimensional methods, while LAS X grain experts directly measure grain area using specific two-dimensional algorithms. Compared with traditional non digital methods, this special method can achieve higher accuracy.

Software for metallographic and material analysis

LAS X grain experts cover multiple international standards for metallographic grain size analysis, such as ASTM E112, DIN/EN/ISO 643, GOST 5639, and JIS G0551. The main standards mentioned earlier also include derived or related standards, such as ASTM E1382 or ASTM E930, which only describe different technical methods used for grain size analysis.

LAS X phase expert software: can increase detection accuracy up to 250 times

The LAS X phase expert module facilitates advanced analysis of multiphase and microstructural components. It can automatically and accurately measure the area percentage of metals, minerals, and other materials.

Using high bit depth or HDR images, highly accurate detection algorithms facilitate the study of phase and display subtle differences in the acquired images. In traditional images, bit depth detection resolution is limited to 256 intensity levels, while LAS X phase experts can improve detection accuracy by more than 250 times.

The results calculated by software are usually calculated as the percentage of each phase in the observed microstructure. In addition to traditional phase analysis, the software also provides additional sample measurement capabilities and the ability to evaluate various other geometric and morphological parameters.

LAS X 2D analysis software: can adjust sample classification according to your specific needs

The LAS X 2D analysis module is developed specifically for combining high flexibility with precise sample and area measurements, while customizing automated analysis according to users' specific needs. Various samples and features, such as particles, powders, fibers, voids, porosity, etc., can be analyzed based on geometric and morphological characteristics as well as physical properties such as brightness or color.

The identified samples can be classified based on the available parameters in the LAS X 2D analysis module. This software is not limited to traditional methods, it also provides a programmable classifier that allows you to create custom parameters. You only need to click the mouse to select several samples of one or more classes, and the 2D analysis module can automatically determine all relevant parameters. Once a specific classifier is established, user interaction will be minimized in future analysis.

LAS X multi-channel analysis option allows for parallel operationDetection and classificationSample and provide a series of logical operators (AND, OR, XOR, etc.), allowing you to combine individual results to obtain multiple measurement combinations.

This powerful set of analysis capabilities makes the LAS X 2D analysis/multi-channel analysis module an ideal tool for performing multiple tasks in quality control and advanced research.

LAS X storyboard software: excellent ergonomics achieved through digital projection

Regarding measurement and analysis based on visual comparison, traditional eyepiece micrometers can cause eye fatigue and poor accuracy after prolonged use.
