Quantifying Microstructure in Optical Materialography

Description

Optical materialography can be used to measure the microstructure of solid materials. It focuses on the microscopic structures seen in an exposed surface and uses them to study the material more deeply.

A common goal is to estimate the three-dimensional microstructure of a sample from a two-dimen...

Transcript

Materialography is a method for microscopic structure imaging and analysis of structural components of solid materials. Quantitative image analysis methods, such as X-ray tomography, are helpful to characterize varied microstructures.

However, these often involve costly instrumentation. Optical microscope-based materialography is an afford...
