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
reective features as well as darker low-reective 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 composite 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.

Extended focused image of diamond

Multiple Image acquisition Pt wires cross sections

Autofocus

Automatic MIA/EFI

For precise sample focusing and fast image acquisition, 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 optional 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.

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 recommends the optimum number of images required to provide
perfectly focused images even outside the depth of eld.

Macro Recorder

Tilt Compensation

OLYMPUS Stream provides a way to preset complex imaging 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.

OLYMPUS Stream can recognise a samples 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.

Magic Wand

Optical inspection and quality control require frequent

measurements. OLYMPUS Stream provides interactive
measurement functions such as distances, angles, rectangles, 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 les as records. To further improve on accuracy, optical settings such as system magnication are
automatically recorded when combined with the Olympus
Microscope system.

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 pointsfree
hand for simple or multiple lines, plus free hand polygon
measurements for irregularly shaped objects.

Measurement Result
Included with the OLYMPUS Stream Basic package and
other more advanced packages is an integrated data analysis 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.

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 les (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 magnication, 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.
