Features: The software suite enhances the renowned configurability of the “alpha300” microscope series, it offers multiple user profiles, regulatory compliance support, a portable coordinate system, and advanced sample navigation.

The multi-user management capability enables the site administrator to determine the instrument functionalities and data access rights associated with each system login. It also assists in efforts to comply with good practice (GxP) guidelines such as the US Food and Drug Administration’s 21 CFR Part 11.

The portable coordinate system “TrueOrigin” locates measurement areas in relation to markers on a sample holder or features on the sample itself. This expedites the correlation of data acquired by multiple techniques from the same position, even when the sample is moved between instruments. It can also import images of a sample made with an external camera to navigate to an area of interest and for convenient project documentation.
