Relate

Correlate. Visualise. Analyse

Relate is a correlative software package optimised to work with multimodal microscopy datasets, including Electron Microscopy (EM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD), Raman spectroscopy, Light microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). It provides the tools you need to correlate data from different microscopes, visualise multi-layered data in 2D and 3D, and conduct correlative analyses.

Analysing and correlating data from different modalities is a common challenge for users of multiple imaging systems. Often, correlating images and visualising the correlative data is a complicated process, including different software solutions and file conversions.

Relate can import datasets from different modalities and file formats, correlate them and generate multi-layered images. With Relate, the visualisation of correlative microscopy is interactive, with different 2D and 3D rendering options within a single document.
