3D construction*2•Polishing amount unknown, takes up work time, frequent excessive polishing••Polishing work required constant manpower to check the polishing state••Specimen must be cleaned manually simultaneously with chapped hands•••Manual measurement takes time••Continuous trouble without the same etching finish each time••Photographing at last by troublesome focusing by microscope each time a photographis taken.

Genus 3D_Photography

3D

Multiple photographic images

Cross-section image
Photographic image automaticallycreated with Genus 3D

Automatic construction by 3
dimensional image

Magnified image

Can be used to convert from 3D image data to numbers and perform
numerical analysis and evaluation!
Application to fusion observation of structure + cracks and inclusions. A holder that also allows application toobserve fusion with EBSD, etc. is available.

Photographic observation example: Metal structure image (DP copper)
