Aurora Diamond Grinding Discs

25% Off

Clemex is pleased to announce the introduction of the Aurora line of grinding discs. Available in 65, 30, 9 and 1 micron configurations, diamonds are evenly distributed on small islands of resin across the disc. A distinctly engineered pattern provides sufficient load on the sample to effectively grind without the need to set the grinding/polishing head at a high force setting. With a disc life on par with 200 SiC papers, sample flatness is far superior. As a reference 65 micron is efficient like an 80 grit diamond disc.

Offer expires October 31st, 2003.

Brillant 201 Cutting Machine
10% Off

The industrial strength Brillant 201 is the logical choice for metallurgical laboratories with moderate production volume. The 3 to 1 translation ratio from lever to motor assures perfectly controlled cutting action. Easy to use, it requires minimal training to operate. A tabletop model, the machine is capable of cutting metallurgical specimens up to 3" (75 mm) in diameter. Very long pieces can also be cut with ease. Clamping devices and re-circulating cooling system are available.

Image Analysis Q & A of the Month
What is the best way to separate connected irregular particles?
In cases where a one step separation procedure (using the Separate instruction) will not only separate connected particles but also over-separate actual particles, we can try using the following steps after binarization:
Step 1
Transfer rough or large connected particles into another bitplane using Object Transfer by Limits (using Roughness or Area)
Step 2
Separate those newly transferred particles using Separate (or Reconstruct to obtain fewer separations)
Step 3
Using a Boolean OR, transfer all particles into the same bitplane
