Light Microscopy


A light micrograph of a AA6XXX series aluminium alloy showing that the structure is fully annealed. The image was taken using Polarised light after etching with barkers solution



A light micrograph of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy showing the acicular alpha phase. The image was taken using normarski interference contrast and was etched using a dilute HF and HNO3 solution.


A light micrograph of a grey cast iron showing the graphite structure. The image was taken using normarski interference contrast after etching in Nital.
