Particle Analysis Software                                                 Optional







                     This application software can be used for a wide range of samples, from soft to hard materials, to provide powerful
                     help for observing what you want to observe.

                      Task  Statistically analyze the diameter and length of many nanoparticles or nanofibers.


                     ˙ Silica Nanoparticle Size Analysis
                                                                             Particle count  Number of levels = 16

                           Height Image               Fiber Isolation    Histogram of Particle Size Distribution

                     ˙ Fiber Length Analysis of Cellulose Nanofibers
                                                                             Particle count  Number of levels = 24













                                    1.00 µm × 1.00 µm        1.000 µm × 1.000 µm  Maximum Z-Value (µm)
                           Height Image               Fiber Isolation  Histogram of Boundary Length Distribution

                     This allows isolating numerous nanoparticles and nanofibers from observation data and calculating their diameter,
                     boundary length, or other characteristic quantities. Fiber length is calculated as half the boundary length. Because it
                     can statistically determine characteristic quantities for numerous samples, it can also be used for shape-based quality
                     control applications.
