Main Applications Topography The surface features of an object and its texture (hardness, reflectivity n. etc) Morphology The shape and size of the particles making up the object(strength defects in IC and chips.etc) Composition The elements and compounds that the object is composed of and the relative amounts of them (melting point, reactivity, hardnessmetc.) Crystallographic Information How the grains are arranged in the object (conductivity, electrical properties, strength.metc.)Main Applications • Topography The surface features of an object and its texture (hardness, reflectivity… etc.) • Morphology The shape and size of the particles making up the object (strength, defects in IC and chips...etc.) • Composition The elements and compounds that the object is composed of and the relative amounts of them (melting point, reactivity, hardness...etc.) • Crystallographic Information How the grains are arranged in the object (conductivity, electrical properties, strength...etc.)
