Visual inspection of surface flaws and defects is an essential part of product quality control and assurance as well as failure analysis. In the automotive industry, microscopists may be challenged with samples that are difficult to image, for example, parts that have a special material composition. They bear a great risk to yield images with poor contrast, making it difficult to measure or see flaws in quality analysis:
This report shows how the Leica DVM6 digital microscope helps to make inspection, measurement analysis, and reporting of such challenging samples quicker and easier.
