Extract

During the past twelve months RJ Lee Group has manually collected and published over one hundred thousand composite SEM images consisting of three components: a low magnification image, a high magnification image, and an x-ray spectrum. In addition, about one and one-half million discrete features have been automatically located and compositionally/morphologically characterized, with about one-fourth of those features then having ancillary images collected automatically based upon characterization criteria. Finally between ten and twenty thousand images have been collected for the production of image montages. The output of this effort has been systematically entered into networked databases where it is accessed for post-processing, analysis, and report generation.
