Target group
Microscopists examining materials specimens in transmitted and reflected light
Prior skills required
Basic skills in light microscopy (e.g., Course on "The Basics of Microscopy")
As more and more innovative materials are being designed, this field of microscopy experiences a revival. The materials microscope is a tool needed by many workers in the materials field – metallographers, mineralogists or quality inspectors. The use of optical contrasting methods enables you to optimally visualize relevant properties of your samples.
You will learn to master brightfield, darkfield, polarization, epi-interference contrast and innovative techniques such as C-DIC and TIC and to select the method that is best for the respective specimen.
- Optimum contrasting for your application
- Brightfield: the routine method
- Darkfield: for finest structures or pigments
- Polarization: birefringence made visible
- Epi-DIC (Reflected-light Nomarski differential interference contrast): detects smallest height differences
- C-DIC and TIC: innovative methods for defect analysis and height measurement
- Simple geometric measurements: a key application
Duration
Two days, 9 a.m.- 4 p.m.
