iSolution DT provides the standard measurement environment in structure analysis of metal and materials according to ASTM E112 (2000). Both intercept lines and planimetric counting are available.  

Ferrite in Cast Iron 

Percent Ferrite is calculated by excluding the graphite area. Graphite can be sorted for calculation including portions with the same gray intensity value of the background pearlite. 

Graphite Analysis in Nodular Cast Iron 

iSolution DT may automatically generate measured data on the international standards regarding the cast iron. It provides graphite types and nodularity data according to the international standards such as ASTM A247-67 (1998), ISO 945 (1975), JIS G5502 (2001), KSD4302 (2002) with a single click. 

Chart Navigator 

The Chart Navigator permits direct comparison between the live or captured image and a series of reference images. The user-friendly interface makes you quickly find the image you need which matches or is similar to the live or captured image out of a large number of reference images. Both the live image and the reference image can be exported to MS Excel by simple mouse click. Synchronize zoom function makes it enable to see the same view size whatever zoom ratio the live or captured image has. 

Particle analysis 

It gives particle analysis result with each object shape and statistic data. 

The below features are included in iSolution DT and DT-M only, not in DT-L 

Non-metallic Inclusion Rating 

The functions in iSolution DT is intended to determine the inclusion content of steel according ASTM E45 (2002), ASTM E1122 (1996), DIN 50602 (1985), ISO 4967(1998), KSD 0204 (2002), JIS G0555 (2003). Two analysis approaches, Stereological measurements and JK inclusions ratings are implemented. 

Yarn filament analysis 

The function is intended for processing a narrow class of special images with filament objects. There are four types of filament objects supported by the program: triangle, circles, FD circle, and polygon. 

Automatic Fruit Size Analysis 

It measures fruit size automatically. 

Volume fraction based on ASTM E562-05 

It gives the volume fraction of residual Austenite and Ferrite based on ASTM E562-05 

Rust Analysis based on ASTM D610-08 and JIS H 8681-2 

It gives the rust analysis result based on ASTM D610-08 and JIS H 8681-2 

Microindentation hardness 

It gives microindentation hardness test result based on Knoop and Vickers. 

The below features are included in iSolution DT-M only 

Motorized stage control 

iSolution DT-M controls motorized stage of Marzhauser, Ludl, Prior scientific, and ASI 

Virtual microscope  

With motorized control stage, it gives automatic image stitching for scanning whole slide area. While making a whole large area image, image stitching and microscope focus enhancement can be done at the same time. Even with stereomicroscope, such a function is available. 

Image analysis with automatic image stitching 

Image analysis with data collector can be done having automatic image stitching at the same time. Image analysis data can be achieved while making a large stitched image by motorized control stage, which gives analysis data and whole picture at the same time. 

Automatic focus adjustment 

While stage is moved, focus is adjusted automatically by software function alone, not with any other additional hardware device. Banding analysis based on ASTM E1268 It gives banding analysis result based on ASTM E1268 standard.
