Materials-Pro Specifications

Materials-Pro^®, the materials analysis plug-in module for Image-Pro Plus, is designed for industrial materials scientists and technicians who need improved solutions for quality control and product development. Working in conjunction with Image-Pro Plus, Materials-Pro is the leading image analysis software system for the automation of widely used standard materials tests.

Unlike manual methods or existing systems which are either too expensive or difficult to use, Materials-Pro is a user-friendly product will deliver reliable, repeatable results on the hardware of your choice at a price performance breakthrough.

Materials-Pro

A simplified tab dialog allows you to easily acquire, process, and analyze your sample image sets through specialized routines. Special measurements for area percentages, grain size, shape, porosity, nodularity, and phase analysis are included. Customized reported can be quickly generated using the Report Generator.

Materials-Pro

Database Efficiently Organizes and Stores Your Images

Materials-Pro utilizes the full featured image database contained in Image-Pro Plus. It provides all the functionality you need to organize, retrieve, and send your images in any of the industry standard formats. Images can be easily located through keyword searches, image folders, or custom fields. In addition, you can print full size images or a gallery of images.

Make Your Job Easier, Your Staff More Productive

Simply set up your samples on your microscope and with just the click of a mouse, you can select a similar image type from the gallery of images to begin your analysis. Materials-Pro will display a template program and provide you with an application-specific suite of image processing functions. From there, Materials-Pro will quickly guide you all the way through the analysis - from suggesting an opening strategy to producing accurate test results. It's just that simple!
