Metallurgical Analysis Made Easy

I found this tool very useful for analyzing metallurgical cross sections. My company makes metal matrix composite materials. This is a great tool to analyze SEM polished cross section microstructures.

It would be great if you could put a scale feature on this so that you could calculate average particle size. But that’s asking too much.
