Metallurgical microscope.
Because of its ability to study objects with highly polished surfaces like metals, a metallurgical microscope is different from other microscopes. Due to the various possible applications of a metallurgical microscope, the price of these instruments are mostly considerable. A metallurgical microscope, especially a high end one, is generally equipped to provide great help in other fields of materials science as well. Metallography is the study of metal and alloys. Metallurgical microscope can help in knowing objects through its physical structure and properties. Metallography, in this art and science field, metal surfaces are prepared for microscopic analyses either by etching, polishing, or grinding the object in order to show its microstructure. Identifying properties and processing conditions of a metal or alloy sample with a metallographic analysis is what an expert in metallography can do.
