A8) “iSpectra” by Christian Liebske

iSpectra* is an open-source toolbox for the analysis of spectral images and provides the
following features:

•

RGB mapping tools,

•

Principle component analysis,

•

Transparent way of creating phase maps,

•

Particle analysis,

•

Batch processing to create large scale phase maps,

•

Morphology operation to account for overlapping excitation volumes,

•

User-adjustable image output,

•

Ratio of two compounds in a single phase (e.g., Ca-Na in plagioclase),

•

And more!
