• Using the Metallographic Microscope for Quality Control Procedures
  The microscope, all its own, is a valuable tool for many researchers, whether they are working in the life sciences or in the engineering fields. A microscope can help life scientists look at cells and sub-cellular materials, and can help microbiologists identify and classify bacteria depending on their appearance and reactions to stains. A microscope read more...


• Metal Surface Examination with the Metallographic Microscope
  Most microscopes are advertised as being confined to a life sciences laboratory, where scientists have to keep them upright and under lock and key. You might also be familiar with the sight of scientists using glass slides or placing mere drops of specimens under the microscope. However, the same is not always true in the read more...


• The Importance of Determining Metal Strength and the Use of Metallographic Microscopes
  How important is metal strength? Imagine how your life would depend on the steel and metal bars that hold up your condominium unit or how strong those sheets of metals that make up a plane should be when you’re traveling at high speeds thousands of miles in the sky. Imagine also how strong the metals read more...


• Metal Casting Production: Common Methods and Quality Control Using Microscopy
  Metal casting production, also called founding, is one of the few manufacturing processes that are used in both art and science. It is also one of the oldest practices, dating back to about 6,000 years ago when metals such as bronze, copper and iron were used. Later, metal and nonmetal combinations such as alloys were read more...


• Examination Tools Commonly Used to Test and Analyze Alloys
  It’s extremely difficult to imagine a world without alloys. Alloys can be found in virtually every important structure and gadget today, used in homes, offices, bridges, even airline transportation. They are present in areas with human populations, from museum sculptures and statues to dental amalgam, even ships we send out to outer space. The fact read more...
