Automation

AppFive can release you from the limitations of your hard-coded software, and can create software which can do what you might have thought was impossible.  By working with you and analyzing your current hardware and software, we can create custom solutions with optimized functionality, efficiency and ease of use.

System integration with software enables advanced new functionality.  It is possible to synchronize acquisition from multiple detectors with control of other hardware.  With advanced processing and automation, software makes it possible to carry out experiements which are impossible or unfeasible to do manually.

We have worked on the following automated functionality:

  • Automated instrument calibration:  magnification, camera length, stage translate and tilt, spectrometer energy calibration
  • Automated microscope alignment/adjustment:  focus, stigmation, eucentric height adjustment
  • Instrument compensation:  stage drift, image drift, stage tilt shift, energy drift
  • Feature recognition
  • Content-based image classification
