Left Tool Bar

Once the detection and measurement options are set and saved, run the Measure > Measure command. The measurement will be performed and the results will be written to the Data table. The detected grains will be indicated inside the image. Since the automated system can make mistakes, it is required to confirm the correctness of each measurement. Use the following tools (placed on the left toolbar) for corrections:

Separate

Use this tool to separate graphite manually if some of the grains were detected incorrectly. It is recommended to increase transparency of the binary layer so the object borders become more obvious.

See Binary Layer Color and Transparency.

Connect

Delete

Deletes continuous areas of the binary layer after they are clicked on.
