A phase in a material is described as a region of uniform contrast, associated with a known constituent of the specimen. Leica QPhase identifies each phase by contrast and automatically calculates its area percentage. Multiple phases are identified by coloured overlays and can be simultaneously displayed for the same field of view. A variable image frame is available to precisely adjust the size of the field to be measured. Identification and measurement of multiple phases within a field can be performed in a fraction of a second.
Results are accumulated over multiple fields of view to allow accurate characterisation of the specimen. According to a range of published standards, QPhase continuously reports the 95% confidence interval and relative accuracy, allowing precise monitoring of the measurement procedure. Using optional motorisation of the microscope stage and focus, QPhase allows fully unattended quantification of the microstructure through automated specimen scanning.

Confidence in Conformity
Leica QPhase automatically identifies each phase on the basis of contrast, irrespective of the type of material concerned. By identifying the appropriate industry standard, the user can be confident that the analysis process conforms to their particular laboratory requirements.
Industry Standards Complied to: ASTM E 562 BS 7590
Results Database for Convenience and User Configurable Report Formats
Following phase detection and measurement, the phase analysis results are presented in both graphical and statistical formats to suit user preferences. Each field's microstructure analysis raw data is also displayed, for advanced analysis of anisotropy, intercepts, and feature count. With optional microscope stage automation, each field may be automatically relocated for further review.
