Description
DISS 5 is an active image acquisition and image processing system for all commercial available electron optical instruments with a scanning device such as scanning electron microscopes and microprobes.
After DISS 5 has been installed, all functions of the SEM are still available. The DISS 5 electronics generates the X- and Y-deflection voltages, digitizes the analog image signals and counts the X-Ray pulses at each pixel for elemental X-Ray mappings.
The digitized images can be processed, labeled, saved, and printed.
