AppFive Professional software services for microscopists, by microscopists

EM Microanalysis Manufacturers

AppFive can help to optimize and enhance your solutions by helping you build high-level software applications for imaging and/or spectroscopy that work with your existing software and interface nicely with the electron microscopes of your choice. We create competitive differentiation for our OEM customers by providing customized, private label software while lowering your development costs and accelerating your time-to-market.

As a manufacturer of microanalysis systems like EDS, WDS and EBSD, you are faced with the challenge having to integrate with a growing number of electron microscopes: SEMs, TEMs, FIBs or even hybrid systems like FIB / SEM systems or AFM / SEM systems, manufactured by an ever growing number of electron microscope manufacturers.

The AppFive team, with years of experience interfacing with dozens of different instruments, can be a partner for your internal R&D Team by providing a wide range of development services:

  • Requirements collection/analysis
  • Interface design/abstraction
  • Interface implementation
  • Alpha- and beta-testing
  • Preparation of design documentation

AppFive’s approach to developing applications is to integrate existing software with a thin integration layer. By avoiding a large, complex application platform, we can improve robustness and reduce time-to-market.

Our agile development methods lead to early working prototypes, which means getting (and giving) feedback earlier in the development process. We also use a wide range of software technologies, including C/C++, C#/.NET, COM, SQL, HTML, PHP, Java and JavaScript, so we can interface to virtually any software, and deliver your software using the optimal technology.
