The Leica Application Suite X (LAS X) software has been designed with a focus on usability. It has been developed to guide you through any type of workflow via an explanatory user interface and direct navigation. The underlying capabilities of LAS X can be enhanced with a range of advanced modules and applications to form a powerful microscopy imaging environment. Each LAS X module provides the flexibility to customize a system solution to the users’ individual needs. LAS X Grain Expert Software: Superior accuracy and reproducibility in grain analysis LAS X Grain Expert module provides an environment allowing users to rapidly perform structural analysis of steel and other materials. A multitude of structures and sample types can be studied using highly accurate edge detection algorithms. This software module also includes traditional stereological methods, such as the Heyn lineal intercept, Jeffries planimetric, and Abrams 3-Circle procedure. These methods are applied automatically, resulting in the direct calculation of grain size. Whereas traditional stereological methods suffer from a 1-dimensional approach to approximate grain size, LAS X Grain Expert applies specific 2-dimensional algorithms to directly measure the grain area. This exceptional approach results in superior accuracy compared to traditional, non-digital methods. LAS X Grain Expert covers multiple international standards for metallographic grain size analysis, such as ASTM E112, DIN/EN/ISO 643, GOST 5639 and JIS G0551.
