acknowledgments this release was made possible by extensive testing and support provided by our close partners at https //www videnceinc com/ of canada and https //www newspec com au/ of australia particular thanks need to be provided to matthew power, matthew ng and tim murphy for testing and suggestions the full development team of chi ly, jonathan knapp, robb mcleod, and mark guo has put in thousands of hours and continues to amaze with their innovation and dedication the entire development team is excited for this release, and hope that it provides users with more utility and enjoyment we have included in this release notes some helpful tools for selling and promoting amics however, we always hope you will reach out to the amics team with any questions or to receive support installer see docid\ e1faehd1k20uedqhptzlx for instructions major new features amics 5 1 0 adds elemental visualize of a specimen, with the ability to also adjust the reference energy line via a modifiable line library the elemental visualization tool allows for blending multiple elements colors, and displays either net or gross counts the map can also be viewed at the segment, grain or particle layer, further enhancing users ability to interpret their data amics 5 1 0 continues to focus on high throughput workflows like mineral processing use docid\ tlnyrvhpbi lrgms5aiza in investigator to apply the same measurement settings over and over amics 5 1 0 now includes the ability to import a holder runsheets (text template), to automate the input of specimen names and method, to further accelerate your workflow amics continues to improve and modernized the ui, now with context menu, and rearrangement of feature buttons for a compact workflow grouping additionally, all ribbon menus are customizable and have the docking position change this is part of a continued longer term project to modernize the amics ui while causing minimal disruptions amics 5 1 0 continues to expand our analytical methodologies, with the introduction of the line scan mode this method allows for different x and y spacing of a matrix map, allowing users to skip rows while still collecting high resolution columns, to act as a fast modal mineralogy screening tool amics 5 1 0 has massively improve the quantification workflow, expanding from just quantification of the reference standard to quantification selected measured spectra and allow for reporting the normalised and unnormalised weight, oxides, and atomic percent amics investigator now allows for the import of a holder image, from the sem or other external source, and overlay the image onto the holder this will make setting up anlaysis areas in investigator easier, without the need to run the bse overview function as often new "save as"function to save a copy of the data since the creation of the original mla and early version of amics, all spectra stored was modified to only contain 2000 channels this prevented using the save spectra for accurate quantification in this latest update amics now stores the native collected spectra allowing for accurate quantification, and improved matching changelog 5 1 0
