Flexible upright microscopes are an indispensable instrument for every metallography lab, whether routine quality controls are performed and new solutions are developed. Metallography is used to investigate not only metals, but for material science purposes, including ores, ceramics, many polymers, semiconductors (unprocessed silicon, wafers, and integrated circuits), coal, plastics, paint, paper, wood, leather, glass inclusions, and a wide variety of specialized materials.
