grains interCept
grains interCept conducts quantitative image analyses according to the intercept method. Detection of intercept points includes support of edge algorithms as well as segmentation. Multi-phase evaluation is supported. Entire images or user-defined image segments can be analyzed. A large variety of line patterns are available. grains interCept offers integrated preview functions for intercept length and related histograms. Results may be classified according to intercept length, distance to reference points and lines. Evaluation and classification can be done using original measurement data or modeled data or done using, for example, the Saltykov method ('slice model') or g value.

grains planimetry
grains planimetry contains functions for determining grain size according to the planimetric methods. grains planimetry evaluates according to the ASTM, DIN and JIS standards. Standards-compliant and user-defined protocols are available for presentation of data. Planimetric evaluation is based on a special algorithm for reconstructing grain boundaries. Analysis results comprise calculation of g values, g-value histograms, bimodal grain-size distributions, elongations, etc. Integrated process automation makes it possible to fully automate measurement sequences. Various analysis requirements can be saved in automation profiles. Users can thus execute measurements for predefined sample classes and preparation techniques automatically. Up to 6 metallic phases can be analyzed simultaneously. Adjusting phase transitions according to the user's individual needs is easy and convenient.

castIron
Add-in for automatic evaluation of images of cast iron samples. Shape and size classification of graphite according to the ASTM A247, EN ISO 945 standards and others. Determination of ferrite-pearlite ratio in cast iron.

microhardness
mht is for manually measuring hardness impressions according to Vickers or Knoop. Hardness values and profiles are the results that are provided.

Imaging C
Imaging C provides users with the C programming language and high-performance image-processing libraries containing more than 8000 commands. Windows API commands and commands from external DLLs are supported. This software extension includes a compiler and a debugger. Programs created using imaging C can be run as add-ins in Scandium.
