Management software MeX

analysismeasurementcutting

MeX is a stand alone software package that turns any SEM with digital imaging into a true surface metrology device. Using stereoscopic images the software automatically retrieves 3D information and presents a highly accurate, robust and dense 3D dataset which is then used to perform traceable metrology examination. The results are obtained irrespective of the SEM magnification providing metrology at macro and micro levels. No additional hardware is necessary to run MeX and it can be used with any SEM. Due to the unique AutoCalibration routine the calibration data is automatically refined. Thereby only MeX enables traceable 3D measurements at any magnification in the SEM. Height & Roughness Measurement Profile measurement enables virtual cutting of specimen. The user defines a path on the optical image and receives the corresponding 3D profile. Roughness and contour measurements conform to recognized international EN ISO standards such as 4287/4288. The profile analysis also allows the fitting of primitives such as circles, angles or others. Volume Analysis Volume analysis calculates the volume of voids and protrusions. The measurement area is defined directly on the optical image. The volume is determined throughout the computation of a soap film model. For the 3Dboundary of the selected area MeX calculates a covering surface that behaves like a soap film. Area Measurements Area analysis provides the determination of Sa, Sq and Sz over a surface. Parameters like roughness, waviness and the fractal dimension of user defined surface patches are achieved.
