Olympus Stream software update improves analysis of nonmetallic inclusions in steel

Olympus is improving the efficiency of nonmetallic inclusion analysis for steel manufacturers that use its Stream image analysis software. The newly released version 2.4.3 enables users to choose the areas of the sample they wish to analyze, helping speed up the inspection process of high-purity steel. Users now can define an area using a polygon rather than a rectangle to help improve accuracy and better align with the sample shape.

New line measurement features also ease the process of capturing multiple line measurements on a sample for cleaner reporting. Users can drag lines and labels to a position where they are easy to read, creating a neat image for analysis.
