3D Reconstruction Software Now Available for Phenom SEM

 

3D Reconstruction Software is now available on the NMCF Phenom Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).

 

3D Reconstruction Software can generate three-dimensional images and provide submicrometer roughness measurements over areas and lines. Calculation of Rz, Rz, and Sa, as well as topographical surface scans and line scans can be acquired. Scans can be displayed as heat maps (image below) or as profiles. Data can be exported to be displayed in user software.

 

Details can be found here: https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/electron-microscopy/products/software-em-3d-vis/3d-reconstruction-software.html

A brief User Guide is available on Sharepoint, and additional information can be found in the Phenom Manual.

Note that NMCF has a temporary license (expiration: 1 November 2021), so get your measurements in now!

 

Would this software would be a useful permanent addition to the SEM toolkit? Let NMCF know! (email: rrw3q@virginia.edu)
