MICROSCOPIC ANALYSIS

Microscopic analysis is a powerful tool used to examine a variety of materials in research and industry. The most common forms of microscopic analysis are cellular plastics test and elemental analysis. The former is used to measure the size of foam cells in rigid cellular plastics and is conducted according to the ASTM D 3576 standard. The latter is often used to determine the elemental composition of a material and is conducted either through energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) or through a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).

The EDX technique is a relatively quick and efficient way to obtain an elemental analysis of a material. It is a non-destructive method that allows for the analysis of a variety of sample types, including powders, thin films, liquids, and solids. EDX is often used in areas such as materials science, metallography, and industrial hygiene. The SEM method is a bit more involved but can provide a much more detailed analysis of a material. It is often used to examine a variety of properties such as microstructure, surface topography, particle size, and elemental composition. SEM is used in areas such as industrial quality control, failure analysis, and aerospace engineering.
