Particles analysis
The cleanliness of components, parts, and fluids is a central issue in manufacturing. Residual contamination on manufactured parts can lead to misfunctioning and low system durability. Thus, the inspection of the cleanliness of produced components has become a standard in quality control, mainly in the automotive, aerospace, electronics, and hydraulic system manufacturers.
The NIS.ai module within Nikon’s NIS-Elements software aids in identifying particles, defects, and structures during inspections. This enables users to detect and classify relevant objects in their microscope images, even under difficult contrast conditions. With just a few clicks, operators can train a custom neural network to analyse images according to their specifications, achieving accuracy comparable to human interpretation.
