4.6、MICROSCOPIC TECHNIQUES Figure 4.13 (a) Polished and etched grains as they might appear when viewed with an optical microscope. (b) Section taken through these grains showing how the etching characteristics and resulting surface texture vary from grain to grain because of differences in crystallographic orientation. Optical Microscopy Figure 4.13 (c) Photomicrograph of a polycrystalline brass specimen. Figure 4.14 (a) Section of a grain boundary and its surface groove produced by etching; the light reflection characteristics in the vicinity of the groove are also shown. (b) Photomicrograph
