AMICS Automated Mineralogy for SEM and Micro-XRF

Automate Mineral and Textural Characterization with AMICS

AMICS is a complete system for advanced mineral identification and characterization, giving users the ability to quickly and accurately collect data and match minerals using an extended database. 

Bruker's AMICS software can be used to directly analyze data collected via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or with the M4 TORNADO micro-XRF spectrometer. 

AMICS for SEM: Automated Mineralogy with a Hitachi SEM

Bruker’s AMICS for SEM is a powerful solution for fully automated mineralogical analysis, delivering fast, accurate, and reproducible results directly from your scanning electron microscope. AMICS streamlines mineral identification and quantification thanks to its advanced algorithms.

AMICS for SEM is a fully integrated system that utilizes Bruker's advanced EDS detectors configured and incorporated into your choice of a Hitachi SEM platform.

Designed for flexibility and speed, with unlimited customization, the AMICS software is also optimized to build and apply classification methods quickly. The platform is perfect for high-throughput production, industrial and precise academic workflows.

M4 TORNADO AMICS is a powerful platform for automated mineralogical analysis thats integrates high-resolution elemental mapping with advanced image processing to identify, classify, and quantify mineral phases.

AMICS can be seamlessly integrated into any workflow to add geochemical and mineral maps from prepared or unprepared samples—including drill core, hand samples, billets, thin sections, and grain mounts. Leveraging the low detection limits and rapid analysis at resolutions below 20 µm, the M4 TORNADO enables fast, non-destructive spatial characterization across a wide range of geological and industrial applications.
