Axiocam image processing for light microscopy

A high resolution camera makes pictures taken with light microscopy accessible for digital image processing. So areas, length and angles can be determined directly in a photo. Measuring cracks and pores in concrete becomes possible as well as the visualization of load-induced changes in steel microstructure, the investigation of fracture surfaces, the verification of coating thicknesses and their bond and various other types of deterioration analyses.
