Metallography is the science that studies the internal structure of metals. It is used to determine if a metal was manufactured correctly by analyzing its "microstructure" (similar to a metal's cells). Through this analysis, we can understand why a part failed or how resistant a material is.
Petrography focuses on the study of rocks and minerals. It is primarily used in geology and mining to identify mineral composition and understand how terrestrial structures were formed through microscopic samples.
Microscopy involves the use of high-power microscopes to observe details invisible to the human eye. In the industry, we use not only light but also digital systems that allow for viewing samples in 3D with astonishing clarity.
Image Analysis consists of using specialized software to measure and quantify what we see under the microscope. Instead of counting particles or measuring grains by hand, the software does it automatically, eliminating human error and providing exact data.
