| Description | Calcite twining has been used and proved repeatedly as a viable stress analysis tool during past several decades, however a comprehensive multitool for stress analysis has been missing. TwinCalc is a free Windows based application that provides the user tools (published and new) for data acquisition using universal stage (including quality control), data handling and plotting tools and stress analysis tools. TwinCalc uses multithreading to considerably reduce processing times, is easy to use and produces high quality images. |
