Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Microscopic Image Analysis of Concrete

授予研究设备赠款，以协助采购具有线性点计数检查系统的蔡司立体显微镜。带有图像分析系统的立体显微镜将允许通过视频系统记录的结果图像放大样品表面。带有线点计数检查系统的立体显微镜是一种特殊用途的仪器，它对样品上的离散点(小区域)进行光学采样，以确定图像是由于固体还是由于空洞而产生的。微处理器对沿线扫描的结果进行统计分析，以确定空洞数量、大小和间距。

A research equipment grant is awarded to assist in the procurement of a Zeiss Stereomicroscope with a linear point count inspection system. The stereomicroscope with the image analysis system will permit magnification of a specimen surface with the resulting image recorded by a video system. The stereomicroscope with the line point counting inspection system is a special purpose instrument which optically samples discrete points (small areas) on the speciman to determine if the image is due to a solid or a void. The results of a sweep along a line are statistically analyzed by a micro processor to determine void count, size, and spacing.
