ZEISS Phase Identifier

Phase Identifier AI is an AI-enhanced phase segmentation and classification algorithm providing data led, not library enforced, automated mineralogy for the SEM. Phase Identifier is a versatile system designed to work off-line, thus freeing the microscope for continued use. Mineral phases are identified by their chemical composition, and the system provides detailed outputs on morphology, chemistry, liberation, and associations.

Use Phase Identifier AI for:​

• Unbiased quantitative chemical analysis and quantification
• Data-led classification
• Geochemical investigation
• Morphological and textural description of the sample
• Petrological analysis
• Mining specific outputs
  

Built on the incomparable ZEISS VersaXRM 730, ZEISS Context and microCT platforms using ZEISS DeepRecon Pro, ZEISS Phase Identifier 3D incorporates advanced and flexible machine learning protocols that recognize individual particles even when they are in contact with other particles of the same composition. Particles are then automatically analyzed individually to provide a series of pertinent outputs such as modal mineralogy, volume, porosity, feret dimensional measurements, associations, and liberation.

With Phase Identifier 3D, little to no sample preparation is required, stereological assumptions are eliminated as every grain is viewed in full in three dimensions, and time to actionable data is significantly reduced. Additionally, precious samples, i.e., meteorites and sample-return missions, are preserved due to the non-destructive nature of X-ray. ​

Use Phase Identifier 3D for:​

• automated phase classification
• modal mineralogy, associations, liberation
• precious sample assessment before modification
• visualization and quantification of textural features
