Lycosoftware has introduced Stereoworks 1.0, which is claimed to be a simple but powerful tool to create 3D reconstruction surfaces from stereoscopic scanning electron microscope (SEM) images.
The software is self installing and requires no extra hardware to work.
It allows the user to make detailed elevation maps from a pair of SEM images and obtain data such as height, area and roughness, irrespective of the magnification.
This package also includes a set of image-editing tools, allowing the user to correct aberrations, and a built-in texture analyser so that the user can obtain, for example, a quantitative phase analysis of microscopic images in a few steps.
