Typical tasks and applications • Imaging and analysis of microstructure of metal materials • Quantitative microstructure analysis • Evaluation according to international standards • Grain size analysis • Multiphase analysis Get these benefits from ZEISS Axioscope • Reveal microstructural information using different contrast methods. • Use brightfield contrast to get information about the overall number, size and shape of features within a material. • Enhance grain boundaries and particle edges with darkfield contrast to reveal sharper features and clearer definition of interfaces. • With Circular Differential Interference Contrast (C-DIC) your sample surface appears as a 3D relief. You can easily detect polishing marks. • Encoded components assure¬ that you always get the right light intensity and scaling to provide reproducible results.
