A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Microscopic examination of materials

Microscopic examination of materials involves the use of optical and electron microscopes to observe the microstructure of solids. Mastering specimen preparation, mounting, polishing, etching, and the interpretation of grain, phase, and defect features is essential for diagnosing material performance and for answering exam questions on microstructural analysis.
