- Scope
- 1.1 This guide outlines various methods which may be followed in the photography of metals and materials with the reflected-light microscope. Methods are included for preparation of prints and transparencies in black-and-white and in color, using both direct rapid and wet processes. 1.2 Guidelines are suggested to yield photomicrographs of typical subjects and, to the extent possible, of atypical subjects as well. Information is included concerning techniques for the enhanced display of specific material features. Descriptive material is provided where necessary to clarify procedures. References are cited where detailed descriptions may be helpful. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use. Specific precautionary statements are given in X1.7. 1.4 The sections appear in the following order: Referenced documents 2 Terminology 3 Significance and use 4 Magnification 5 Reproduction of photomicrographs 6 Optical systems 7 Illumination sources 8 Illumination of specimens 9 Focusing 10 Filters for photomicrography 11 Illumination techniques 12 Instant-processing films 13 Photographic materials 14 Photographic exposure 15 Photographic processing 16 Keywords 17 Suggestions for visual use of metallographic microscopes Appendix X1 Guide for metallographic photomacrography Appendix X2 Electronic photography Appendix X3 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
