Providing Intuitive Workflows for Applications in Metallography

The Olympus Stream Solutions enable users to easily capture and analyse any image for their niche applications quickly, precisely and in compliance with common international standards. Detailed in an educational demo video, the Grain Sizing Solutions are easy to use for beginners and experienced users alike, enabling you to accurately determine the quality of your steel. The Solutions are optional component to the Olympus Stream software, which provides users with a completely intuitive workflow interface to accurately image and measure the microstructure of any sample.

The Grain Size Intercept Solution allows steel manufacturers to measure and control grain size, following cross-sectioning, polishing or etching. The Olympus Stream software automatically calculates the grain size number (G number), while users can easily define the number of test lines for determining grain elongation. All resulting data are stored with the image for data mining. In addition, the Grain Size Planimetric Solution uses a new algorithm to extract grain boundaries, providing a guided measurement of the distribution of grain index. Both of these Solutions operate in accordance with internationally recognised industry  standards, and the Chart Comparison Solution allows users to compare images with reference charts, making it ideal for in-depth evaluation and analysis.

The Olympus Stream Solutions are designed to offer additional, advanced functionality to the existing capabilities of the Olympus Stream software. By providing a workflow approach where users can simply acquire, process and analyse their images, sample quality is easily determined in line with internationally recognised guidelines and standards.
