STRABOSPOT

Small scale. Big ideas.

StraboMicro is a tool for managing images and reporting geologic data at the microstructural scale (e.g., from thin sections). It is part of StraboSpot, a digital system for collecting, managing, and sharing geologic data across scales. From field and laboratory observations to experimental rock deformation data.

StraboMicro Highlights

See micrographs your way.

Adjust overlay transparency with per-micrograph opacity sliders and live previews for precise control.

Count and classify points in a flash.

Rapidly assign minerals using customizable grids, keyboard shortcuts, live stats, session saving, and CSV export.

Compare multiple images instantly.

View micrographs side-by-side in full-screen grids with independent or synchronized pan/zoom, overlay support, and theme-aware backgrounds.

Detect grains automatically, classical or AI-powered.

Choose OpenCV for fast, parameterized detection or FastSAM AI for high-accuracy contour extraction across platforms with GPU acceleration.

Edit spots faster than ever.

Keyboard-driven Quick Edit mode plus batch selection lets you classify, assign minerals, and track progress with visual feedback and auto-advance.

Merge, split, and manage spots effortlessly.

Combine or divide polygons with undo/redo, track provenance, and perform batch edits for multiple spots at once.

Measure grains with precision.

Automatic real-world calculations for line lengths, polygon areas, and perimeters, plus on-canvas ruler measurements for quick checks.

Analyze grain size and orientation quantitatively.

Generate metrics, rose diagrams, histograms, mineral grouping, and exportable CSV or PDF reports for deep morphometric insights.

Export your work anywhere.

Save fully editable vector spots with raster bases for Illustrator, Inkscape, or Affinity Designer—labels remain editable for downstream analysis.
