Failure Analysis – Materials
Failure analysis – materials is the investigation into the background or history of a sample, or an event, to determine why a particular failure occurred. A product failure may include premature breakage, discoloration or even an unexpected odor. It is useful to know if this failure is a new, unique occurrence or if it has been an ongoing issue. The investigation can involve analyzing the sample as it currently exists and extrapolating from that data what may have caused the failure. A sample of the “good” vs. “bad” product may also be useful for comparison purposes.

Imaging & Analysis
Microscopes offered by Buehler generally fall into the categories of stereo microscopes, upright microscopes, or inverted microscopes. Inverted microscopes are commonly referred to as metallurgical microscopes. Microscopes may offer episcopic (reflected light) observation, diascopic (transmitted light) observation, or both possibilities. Illumination may be delivered in bright field mode (BF) or dark field mode (DF), and several techniques such as differential interference contrast (DIC) and polarized light microscopy make use of the nature of light to reveal specific pieces of information when studying materials.
