NOTE: The hardware (display, graphics card, etc.) used to display the images in Inspector Standardization content influences the appearance of the images.  As a result, the images may have a slightly different appearance when viewed on different makes/models of computers and displays. 

GIPSA created the Inspector Standardization tools using an EIZO ColorEdge CG19 calibrated LCD display.  They should not be used for inspection purposes unless they are viewed using a computer with digital video (DVI) output and an EIZO CG19, EIZO S1921, EIZO S1932, EIZO S1961, or EIZO CE210W display.
