Three-dimensional models allow Z-height Measurements

Using Hitachi' s latest high speed, 4-segment Backscattered Electron Detector, a three-dimensional model can be generated without sample tilting or manually collecting consecutive images.

  • Directly edits on the flexible layout display.
  • Supports various measurements such as height, area, and volume as well as ISO-compliant□surface roughness.
  • Automated and traceable analysis workflow including report creation.

Features

Hitachi map 3D Software Overview

Hitachi map 3D generates three-dimensional images without sample/stage tilting or image shift.
Hitachi map 3D captures all four directional images simultaneously with a high-speed, segmented Backscattered Electron Detector (BSED).

Sample:Solar cell

Flexible Profile Analysis

Automatically collects data from the sample surface or cross-sectional profile for surface roughness and structural height, or makes various measurements between the 2 points.

  • Cross-sectional profile display from any points within the 3D map
  • Measurement location can be selected freely from vertical, horizontal, and diagonal points from the 3D image.
    Whenever the measurement location is changed, the measurement results respond in real time.
-
  • Height and angle measurements are possible on the user defined line profile.
-
Sample:Powder spray
  • X, Y, and Z analysis between 2 points on the surface or cross section.
    Distance, Z-height, slope, or angle can be measured between 2 points on the 3D map image.

Sample:Powder spray

High-definition 3D Image Display

  • Numerous 3D rendering modes are user selectable for surface characterization. Animations can be applied to the 3D image and saved as a video file.

Sample:Screw

A Wealth of Report and Measurement Functions

  • Surface and line profile roughness measurements can be made on any area of the 3D reconstructed image.
  • Any sample results before and after the processing can be simultaneously displayed side by side on a report layout.
-
Sample:Comparison of plated metal

Various Output Formats Supported

  • Report data can be output to several formats including RTF (Word-compatible), PDF, and more.
  • Three-dimensional reconstruction data can be output in txt, STL format (3D printer compatible), and more.
-
Sample:Star sand

Full-Featured Help Function in Multiple Languages

  • The help function describes the formulas used for each measurement mode.
  • Available in 11 languages.
