Microscopic image analysis method of coupled substance, microscope image analysis apparatus, and computer program

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image analysis method estimating characteristics of a bound substance by defining a ratio of a boundary between different phases adjacent to a constituent phase in the bound substance comprising a plurality of constituent phases.SOLUTION: The image analysis method defines the length of a boundary between different phases to which a constituent phase is adjacent from a sectional image of a bound substance comprising a plurality of constituent phases. The image analysis method of the bound substance comprising the plurality of phases includes the steps of: polishing the bound substance; microscopically capturing an image of a polished surface of the polished bound substance to create an image; defining a presence area of constituent phases in the bound substance on the basis of luminance distribution of the image; defining a boundary between different phases from the presence area of the defined constituent phases; and deriving a ratio of the boundary between the respective different phases.
