Macroscopic Examination
We are a company specializing in conducting macroscopic examinations.
This is a process of analyzing and observing the surface and structure of materials using techniques that allow them to be viewed with the naked eye or with simple tools such as a magnifying glass or a stereoscopic microscope.
The research process in macroscopic examinations typically involves several key steps:
-
Sample preparation – the material sample is prepared in such a way as to enable proper observation. This may include cleaning, polishing, cutting, or other techniques depending on the type of material and the purpose of the examination.
-
Macroscopic observation – The sample is visually examined using a magnifying glass, a stereoscopic microscope, or a macroscopic camera. These tools allow for viewing the surface of the material in a broader context and analyzing features visible on a larger scale.
-
Analysis of macroscopic features – During observation, various features are analyzed, such as structure, texture, shape, color, cracks, damage, or irregularities on the surface of the material.
-
Documentation and reporting – The results of observations and analyses are usually documented in the form of photographs, notes, and reports. This information serves as a basis for decision-making regarding quality, production, quality control, and other areas.
Applications of Macroscopic Examinations
Macroscopic examinations are used in many fields, such as various branches of industry, science, archaeology, or forensic medicine. They are useful for assessing the quality of materials, identifying production defects, analyzing surfaces, diagnosing damage, and studying the structure of materials.
