Optical Microscopy Analysis
Optical microscopy surface analysis.
Intertek optical microscopy labs are staffed with microscopy scientists with years of experience in research and production problem-solving for problems, materials and clients. Digital images of client samples are quickly forwarded from the surface science laboratory to the client. Optical microscopy is often the starting point for successful materials related problem-solving, and helps clients fully understand microstructure and product property relationships.
