Normal image without HDR Perfectly exposed image with HDR

HDR Capability
HDR (High Dynamic Range) offers an exceptional level of contrast for microscopic images containing both bright, highly
reflective features as well as darker low-reflective features. As an integral part of OLYMPUS Stream software, the HDR
algorithms automatically acquire a series of images at varying exposure times. Within seconds create a composite image
perfectly exposed at every level. This is especially useful for metallurgical microstructures, printed circuit boards, or com-
posite components. HDR imaging is also offered when acquiring stitched, panoramic (MIA) images, or when using the built
in Extended Focal Image (EFI) capability to create an image with focus even with varying heights.

Olympus Offers Solutions to Save You Time
Multiple Image acquisition Pt wires cross sections
Autofocus
For precise sample focusing and fast image acquisi-
tion, OLYMPUS Stream offers two autofocus options. For
surfaces with high contrast, OLYMPUS Stream can use its
contrast-based software autofocus. For surfaces with low
contrast, such as polished or transparent materials, the op-
tional laser autofocus unit is a fast, repeatable option when
integrated with the Olympus BXiS microscope system.
Both systems provide perfectly focused images with the
simple click of a button.
Macro Recorder
OLYMPUS Stream provides a way to preset complex imag-
ing and measuring tasks with the Macro Recorder. The
Macro Recorder creates step-by-step processes, that after
completion, are stored and then implemented with a single
click. The capability ensures different operators are using
the same settings for a consistent output.
7
Automatic MIA/EFI
When creating large, high-resolution automated Multiple
Image Alignment (MIA) images, the combination of
OLYMPUS Stream software with a motorized stage easily
provides a fast result. The operator selects MIA scanning
by using the stage navigator tool, which steps the operator
though the entire process. When using the automatic EFI
function with a motorized focus unit, the software recom-
mends the optimum number of images required to provide
perfectly focused images even outside the depth of field.
Tilt Compensation
OLYMPUS Stream can recognise a sample’s tilt by taking
three or more points on the image data when performing
automated MIA using motorized systems. This shortens
the time while increasing the repeatability when acquiring
images.
OLYMPUS Stream Gets You the Image You Want

From Simple Measurements to Particle Analysis
Measurement operation
Basic Measurement
Optical inspection and quality control require frequent
measurements. OLYMPUS Stream provides interactive
measurement functions such as distances, angles, rect-
angles, circles, ellipses and polygons. The measurements
are made with your mouse and show immediate feedback
on the image or in the live data table. All results are saved
with the image files as records. To further improve on ac-
curacy, optical settings such as system magnification are
automatically recorded when combined with the Olympus
Microscope system.
Measurement Result
Included with the OLYMPUS Stream Basic package and
other more advanced packages is an integrated data analy-
sis package. The data analysis provides statistical analysis
on your data based on your needs. You can calculate
mean, standard deviation, min, max, and more. All of the
data gathered is exported to Microsoft Excel with a single
click.
9
Magic Wand
OLYMPUS Stream Essentials and other more-advanced
packages include a wand for automatically detecting the
edges of the sample you wish to measure. The Magic
Wand allows you to select the measurement points—free
hand for simple or multiple lines, plus free hand polygon
measurements for irregularly shaped objects.
Layer Management
Each image as it is captured and annotated is broken into
layers (original image, measurement data, annotations etc.),
allowing you to change processing files (smoothing and/
or sharpening) without affecting your measurement results.
You can easily retain your measuring data as you carry out
your analysis and measurements.
Traceability
For quality control and traceability recording the conditions
of image acquisition is essential. With OLYMPUS Stream,
you can quickly create a calibration report for important
information such as magnification, objective lens type, pixel
size, scale bar, etc. The Info Stamp created from updated
calibration information can be overlaid on the acquired
image and reports.
Original image Measurement: A-throat

Weld Measurement
OLYMPUS Stream offers an optional set of measurements dedicated to the measurement of geometric distortion induced
by the heating during welding. Asymmetry, Multiple Perpendicular Lines and A-Throat measurements can be conducted
with a few simple clicks. This allows detailed and statistical measurements of the welding distortion. These measurements
are perfect for assessing the quality of the weld.
*For the appropriate main license for this solution, please refer to the specification table at the end of the brochure.

Object detection and classification
