New Features Added to Micro-Imaging Software

OLYMPUS Stream, an advanced micro-imaging software system, allows users to acquire, process and measure images. With the release of Stream 1.9.2, new advancements to Stream's capabilities enhance workflow and allow flexible system operation.

Among Stream 1.9.2's functional enhancements are a new separator filter designed to better separate objects and reconstruct boundaries up to 10 times faster than the previous filter; a new shading correction tool allowing corrections data to be stored for all observation methods; and an automatic height map feature that enables users to go directly to surface view or perform a line profile immediately after an EFI is captured. Additional functions new to Stream 1.9.2 include a total magnification feature, the ability to create long-length movies, normalized report magnification, a database recycle bin and the ability to insert page templates. Stream 1.9.2 also offers an optional simplified user interface.

Software enhancements include improved image stitching (users can now select the percent overlap for matching criteria in a MIA) and improved line profile (now includes noise reduction, first derivative display, export to Excel, averaging over multiple lines and a link between image and profile).

Within Stream's materials solutions, upgrades including new charts for all standards, new grain boundary types for variable backgrounds, new and updated cast iron standards and worst field inclusion. The automatic measurement solution has also seen a number of improvements including workflow enhancements, the ability to rename routines, workbook validation results and the ability to enable scope and camera controls during workflow.

Stream 1.9.2 is compatible with the latest Olympus cameras, including the all-new DP22, DP27 and SC50. Stream 1.9.2 supports Windows 8.1, 8, and 7.
