3D Orientation Microscopy (.pdf)
Traditionally, microstructure refers to features that are visually evident in an optical or electron microscope. However, many critical aspects of microstructure are not visually evident. For example, the crystallographic orientation of the constituent grains can not be observed in basic

A Close-up Look at White-Speck Neps in Cotton
labor-intensive agitators and wringers in 1922. As washing technology has advanced, so have the tools of textile science. Take microscopes as a case in point. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) was developed in 1942 and has been commercially available since the early 1960s. It uses electrons to scan

Database For Trace Analysis (.pdf)
Coupled with an Energy Dispersive x-ray System (EDS), the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is often used to analyze trace evidence. Automated identification of gun shot residue is an excellent example of this. The traditional approach has been to mount the unknown in some fashion, insert
