English

Subject field(s)
  • Metallography
CONT

Fracture surfaces of metals can now be examined at magnifications up to 50,000 x by the electron microscope. This technique, termed "electron microfractography", may become an important tool in failure analysis ...

OBS

While the term "microfractography" has generally been used in this sense, it has also been used to designate cases where a light microscope is used as opposed to no microscope at all (i.e., "macrofractography").
