![]() Meet an InterPore2025 Exhbitor: Thermo Fisher Scientific
Avizo Software at InterPore 2025 Understanding the porosity of a material, whether it is a defect or a feature, is critical for its continued quantification. Imaging techniques like microCT, FIB-SEM, SEM, and TEM allow for the analysis of porous materials to quantify micropores, sponge-type voids, large macro-voids, inclusions, and so forth. At Thermo Fisher Scientific, we strive to provide innovative analytical solutions. Enhanced with AI and automation capabilities, Thermo Scientific Avizo Software offers digital tools for the visualization, processing, and quantification of porous materials. Meet our team at InterPore 2025 at booth #3 and ask them how our software solutions can help with the challenges you are facing. Make sure to catch a live demonstration of the latest version of Avizo Software for visualization, processing, and quantification of porous materials. Meet our team and discover how we can help you push the boundaries of your research. |
