Dear All,
I am planning to buy a petrological Microscope with Image analyser software + accessories. As I know some of you will have specialised in the Image analysis I would request you to inform me the best of the software for image analysis of rocks and minerals in thin sections alongwith the important accesssories. A digital Camera or CCTV/ camera or what other important parts/software are required especially for identificatin of minerals, %age volume, grain size, shape, strain effects, angle measurements, qphase analysis, grey level studies etc. and also for engineering properties of aggregates and concrete etc. Please also inform which is the best Image analyser/software for above-out of the following Performa Invoice-
Carl Zeiss ( Axiolab Pol Microscope + KS300 or KS400 software + Kohu colour CCD Camera + Matrox Meteor Frame Grabber (D))
Nikon (E-600 Pol Microscope + Media Cybernetics Image analyser system model Image Pro Plus IPPWIN-C CAM + Frame Grabber card + Single Chip
24-Bit Colour CCD Camera)
Leica ( DMLP Microscope + Leica Image Analysing System i.e. Leica Qwin standard + Leica Qphase-percent analysis + Leica Qwinlite + JVC TK 1280E

Please help for getting a good Image Analysing system (the cost should be moderate i.e. $ 20, 000 approx)
