Full automation within a tighter budget. Carefully chosen objective compromises you can upgrade yourself whenever funding allows.
View systemAutomated counting of fission tracks defeated research groups worldwide for decades — apatite crystals are full of artefacts and natural defects that fooled every algorithm. In a three-year research collaboration with the fission track group of Professor A.J.W. Gleadow at the University of Melbourne, we cracked it.
Our patented software counts tracks fully automatically — on the apatite grain and on the mica external detector — and stores complete 3-D image stacks, so your sample data survives even destructive LA-ICP-MS analysis.
Fission track dating reveals the age and temperature history locked inside mineral grains — the evidence that guides petroleum exploration and underpins fundamental research from Antarctica to the Himalaya.
Counting those microscopic damage tracks by hand is slow, fatiguing and inconsistent. Our systems capture, count and archive them automatically, freeing your experts for the decisions only they can make.
