The light microscopy laboratory is generally used for the evaluation of metallographic samples, which may be in a polished or etched state. We are able to evaluate the microstructure of metallic and non-metallic samples on our instruments. Within the laboratory we can:

  • Evaluate the content of inclusions in stainless steels - DIN50602
  • Evaluate the resistance of steel products to hydrogen-induced cracking - ČSN EN 10229
  • Evaluate the metallographic structure of cast irons - EN ISO 945-1
  • Metallographic determination and verification of cementation depth - EN ISO 2639
  • Metallographic determination of apparent grain size in steels - ČSN EN ISO 643
  • Metallographic determination of the content of non-metallic inclusions - ČSN ISO 4967
  • Metallographic classification of graphite in cast irons - ČSN EN ISO 945-1
  • Metallographic determination of non-metallic inclusions in steels on the basis of standardized images - ČSN EN 10247
  • Metallographic assessment of the microstructure classification of titanium implants - ISO 20160
  • Metallographic determination of grain size of copper and copper alloys - ČSN EN ISO 2624

Instrumentation equipment:

  • Inverted light microscope Olympus IX70
  • Inverted light microscope Olympus GX51
  • Zeiss Observer A1m Inverted Light Microscope
  • Olympus SZX12 Stereomicroscope
