Conference objectives

MICROSCOPY AND NON-DESTRUCTIVE MATERIAL TESTING 2018 The conference is focused on the use of optical, laser and electron microscopy for materials research, optimization of material properties and analysis of relationships with production technologies. Conference approaches use these methods to solve production and technological problems and new trends and opportunities in these areas.

In addition, the conference will deal with using non-destructive testing in the production process for testing and inspection of materials and the research approach and the possibility of using special techniques in practice and research (thermal imager, high-speed camera, x-ray equipment, ultrasound equipment and lines, etc.). The conference will be introduced to a variety of devices and equipment which can become familiar with their use, function, operation, etc.

The main goals and focus of the conference MICROSCOPY AND NON-DESTRUCTIVE MATERIAL TESTING 2018 is to give a comprehensive overview of the current situation in these areas:

  • use of microscopy, X-ray methods and non-destructive methods
        of research and solving technological problems,
  • electron microscopy and its applications
        in science, research and optimization of material properties and manufacturing processes,
  • optical and laser microscopy and their applications
        (science, research, applications, optimization of manufacturing processes),
  • new trends and equipment in the field of microscopy,
  • fraktografie a její využití jako forenzní vědy,
  • fractography and its use as a forensic science,
  • use of X-ray methods in solving technological and design problems,
  • non-destructive testing
        (devices, applications in science, research and industry).
