What’s inside MountainsSpectral®

Correlative Analysis

Colocalize images and spectral maps from a single instrument or multiple instruments (Raman spectroscopy, cathodoluminescence, fluorescence, EDX, EELS, AFM, SEM etc.)
Combine information from different sources into a single, multimodal dataset

Process Spectral Maps

Process Raman, cathodoluminescence, photoluminescence, fluorescence, EDX/EDS and EELS maps
Optimize rendering, palettes, color mixing and transparency

Process & enhance images

Correct and enhance images obtained through spectroscopic techniques: apply smoothing filters, remove image artefacts, fix lighting and interactively adjust brightness and contrast.

Overlay compositional data on images

Create “3D” effects with EDS/EDX maps
Build spectacular renderings associating EDS (EDX) maps or other spectral/compositional data with SEM images (or topography reconstructed from SEM images if available)

See composition of materials in full 3D

Associate tomography & chemical analysis
Load 3D multi-channel cubes of compositional data (“chemical” cubes)

Process & analyze spectra

Get spectra ready for analysis: correct the base-line & filter to remove noise
Use Band view
Perform multivariate analysis

Stories

Correlating AFM, SEM & EDX data for nanoparticle analysis

For this application, a research team at the LNE Nanotech Institute combined measurements from several instrument techniques including Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with a new-generation energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDX). They used MountainsLab® software to correlate the collected data and extract the relevant information.

Exploring hyperspectral maps of 2D materials

Tailoring 2D semiconductor heterostructures with specific bandgaps is a key aspect of leveraging new quantum materials for electronics and optoelectronics, one of the hot topics for researchers currently working in nanotech. Craig Wall, applications scientist at Montana Instruments, recently investigated the subject using Mountains® software to analyze results from Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence.

Analyzing photoelectron spectroscopic measurements

Scientists from the ISEN (Institut Supérieur de l’Électronique et du Numérique) in Lille, France, used photoelectron spectroscopy to investigate a new method for growing PbS nanoplatelets on InP surfaces.

Characterizing the silicon dangling bond

Bruno Grandidier, research scientist with the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), reports on his work, focused on understanding the electronic properties of silicon dangling bonds.

Failure analysis in optoelectronic devices

Quantitative cathodoluminescence technology coupled with the power of Mountains® software made it possible to localize and identify degraded layers in state-of-the-art green laser diodes.

Testimonials

Dr Claudiu Giusca

Senior Lecturer in Sensor Technology for Precision In-process Measurement, Cranfield University

Mountains® is able to read specific files from different instrument manufacturers meaning it allows us to compare the results within the same visual platform. We like how results are visualized and when it comes down to applying your operators, the software is intuitive.

Peter Van Rompuy

Primary Lab Technician, Agfa-Gevaert

Superb software and great support!

In my opinion, Mountains® is the way to go if you want to raise the bar and get the most out of your topographic datasets.
