Plotting and analysis:

There is a notebook, here, which shows some examples of what you can do with the data that comes from silcam process: https://github.com/SINTEF/PySilCam/blob/master/notebooks/SizeDistributions.ipynb

You can also use:

silcam-report to generate nice summary reports from the data that comes from silcam process

If you don't like using python scripts, you can run silcam-gui and use the interactive summary to explore the data that comes from silcam process (this is mostly intended for oil and gas analysis).
