AI-assisted 3D annotation and segmentation software
Tescan Picannto™ extends the Tescan 3D Viewer™ workflow with dedicated 3D annotation and segmentation capabilities. It helps users turn complex volumetric datasets into structured, quantitative outputs while keeping visualization, segmentation, and presentation connected within the Tescan 3D software ecosystem.
Designed specifically for 3D segmentation workflows, Tescan Picannto™ combines manual precision tools, semi-automatic methods, and AI-assisted segmentation in one purpose-built environment. Users can define, refine, and validate regions of interest with greater speed and control, without switching between disconnected software tools.
Advanced AI-assisted tools, including methods based on Segment Anything Model 2, help accelerate object detection and region definition in complex datasets. Users remain in control of the final result and can combine AI output with manual refinement and validation to create precise and reproducible segmentations.
Built on a high-performance 3D rendering engine, Tescan Picannto™ enables smooth interaction with large volumetric datasets and supports a wide range of 3D and medical imaging data formats. Its task-oriented interface helps users focus on segmentation logic and analysis rather than software operation.
Together with Tescan 3D Viewer™, Tescan Picannto™ creates a connected workflow from preprocessing and visualization to segmentation, overlays, and presentation. Enhanced datasets can be transferred from Tescan 3D Viewer™ to Tescan Picannto™ for segmentation, while segmented regions can be exported as NumPy files for downstream analysis, machine learning, validation, and reproducible workflows.
Tescan Picannto™ is also extensible through Compox™, the Python-based extensibility layer. Users can connect custom algorithms, AI models, and specialized segmentation workflows directly to the application, while developing methods in their own Python environment and controlling them from the familiar Tescan Picannto™ interface.
This makes Tescan Picannto™ more than a conventional segmentation tool: it is a connected, AI-assisted, and extensible segmentation environment that can adapt to specific materials, structures, research methods, and industrial analysis requirements.

Multi-energy micro-CT for elemental and structural differentiation in complex, multi-phase materials.
Elemental mapping for identifying fillers, dopants, or additives in polymer composites
Spectral contrast for distinguishing polymers, ceramics, and metals with similar densities
Non-destructive 3D analysis of internal interfaces and phase boundaries
Integrated Spectral Suite for correlating elemental and structural data in one workflow
In materials research, Spectral CT enables scientists to explore the relationship between structure and composition without destroying samples. Researchers can visualize distribution of additives, analyze composite uniformity, and study degradation pathways—supporting more reliable material design and performance assessment.
Full-spectrum micro-CT for 3D elemental and structural insight into geological samples.
Non-destructive 3D elemental mapping of rocks, ores, and mineral inclusions
K-edge detection for locating and identifying high-value or trace elements like gold or rare earth elements
Enhanced contrast for complex mineral assemblages and pore networks
Large-volume spectral scanning for full-core or fragment-scale analysis
For geoscientists and mining professionals, Spectral CT provides simultaneous elemental and structural data from intact samples. It supports mineral identification, ore classification, and recovery assessment—reducing dependency on destructive assays while preserving geological material for further study.
Tescan Spectral CT works seamlessly with SPECTRAL Suite and Acquila™ micro-CT control software to streamline spectral imaging from acquisition to analysis. Used as an add-on with the UniTOM XL platform, users can target volumes of interest, capture full-spectrum data, and visualize structural and elemental information in one workflow.
Researchers benefit from intuitive controls, guided reconstruction, and automated spectral processing. Spectral Suite handles spectrum matching, K-edge detection, and compositional mapping with minimal setup. This delivers consistent, reproducible results across samples and accelerates multi-energy micro-CT analysis.
