Abstract
The program FlɛX (flexural ɛ for xtals) has been developed for a quick, easy and accurate evaluation of the maximum deformation reached in flexible crystals from a simple optical microscope picture. The program takes advantage of computer vision libraries to find the contours of a bent crystal and fit these to semicircles. It can then calculate the theoretical maximum deformation along its long axis using equations from the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory.
