Here is an electron beam wire printed Ti64 C-axis orientation image taken by CrystalView microscope in 15 minutes including processing at 5um resolution. The image showcases large microtexture regions across a large field-of view of 2.3 square cm. CrystalView microscope is the game-changer in large-area microtexture and microstructure analysis. CrystalView can now realize crystallographic imaging on rotary polish surfaces, saving days of time and labor costs. You can now skip the vibratory polish step completely.?Fifteen minutes include both the imaging and processing time of the crystallographic image allowing you to do more samples faster. #MicrostructureEvaluation #MicrotextureAnalysis #Microstructure #Microtexture #OrientationImaging #FailureAnalysis #3DPrinting #DED #CAxisImaging #RapidAnalysis #QualityContol #additivemanufacturing #Metallurgy #Ti #metallography #EBSD #CrystallographicImaging #Titanium #CrystallographicTextures #CrystalViewMicroscope

Check out the LBPF AlSi10Mg phase and grain segmentation image the CrystalView microscope took. CrystalView can distinguish and image the phases of many dual-phase materials. CrystalView is the only patented laser polarized-light microscope (PLM) and the 2024 Microscopy Today Innovation Award winner. CrystalView provides quantitative large-area microstructure characterization with an instant field-of-view exceeding 2cm2. CrystalView is the world’s first and the only quantitative wide-field PLM, offering the fastest imaging - 15 minutes including processing - and higher contrast than electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) without pixel replacement. #Aluminium #Crystallography #Phasemapping #CrystalViewMicroscope #PLM #EBSD #Texture #microstructure #LPBF #AlSi10Mg #MicrostructureEvaluation #MicrotextureAnalysis #Microtexture #3DPrinting #OrientationImaging #CAxisImaging #RapidAnalysis #QualityContol #metallography #additivemanufacturing #Metallurgy

CrystalView reveals different phases that have different corrosion rates. In 316L stainless steel, these phases are recognized as high-temperature prior-austenite and prior-ferrite phases. CrystalView supports phase mapping, to distinguish different phases and prior-phases in a material, helping understand the microstructural evolution during processes like corrosion and heat treatment. CrystalView offers the fastest imaging – 15 minutes including processing – over 2.3 cm sq. instant field-of-view without cutting the part. CrystalView enables true high-throughput and less destructive testing for large or irregular parts and is more tolerant of less-polished surfaces than any other microscope on the market. This makes CrystalView a unique tool for additive manufacturing. Parts imaged can be put into service. #3DPrinting #316L #SS #FCC #Crystallography #LPBF #EBSD #additivemanufacturing #MicrostructureEvaluation #3DPrinting #MicrotextureAnalysis #FailureAnalysis #OrientationImaging #RapidAnalysis #LargeAreaGrainStatistics #prioraustenite #priorferrite #PhaseAnalysis #CrystalViewMicroscope #EDS
