Applications

  • Reflected/Incident Light Microscopy: investigation of compact, opaque specimens with polished or etched surfaces for evaluation of surface layers, cracks, pores, material structure, etc.
  • Stereo Microscopy: 2 separate light beams with “different points of view” make it possible to generate 3-D images, in particular for high-resolution images of fracture surfaces with varying height distribution
