I am looking to purchase a photography kit for onsite metallurgical investigations, such as capturing photos of worn areas, hot tears, cold tears etc. Could anyone suggest me a good macro-photography kit / camera combination for this purpose. Thank you.
Hi, for many years I have used products by Dion-Lite. The latest line of wireless units is especially useful while taking pictures in the field. The image processing software is acceptable, while I used ImageJ for advanced image processing.
Hello Mohammad,
The biggest problem that has not been solved yet is the depth of field. Any USB microscope with output to the laptop screen is quite suitable for field analysis of small defects. For large defects, it is better to use a camera (with a tripod). It requires special lenses or adapter rings. For high-quality photos for reports or articles, you will need to take several shots with different depths of field in manual mode and then combine them.
