Micrograph

<p>A micrograph is an image, captured <a href="/facts/Photograph/gnq0f1or">photographically</a> or digitally, taken through a <a href="/facts/Microscope/ldJp0CI3">microscope</a> or similar device to show a <a href="/facts/Magnify/ACFaV1Bd">magnified</a> image of an object. This is opposed to a <a href="/facts/Macrograph/7BIPlNTe">macrograph</a> or photomacrograph, an image which is also taken on a microscope but is only slightly magnified, usually less than 10 times. Micrography  is the practice or art of using microscopes to make photographs. A photographic micrograph is a photomicrograph, and one taken with an <a href="/facts/Electron_microscope/XtaBktwF">electron microscope</a> is an electron micrograph.
</p><p>A micrograph contains extensive details of microstructure. A wealth of information can be obtained from a simple micrograph like behavior of the material under different conditions, the phases found in the system, failure analysis, grain size estimation, elemental analysis and so on. Micrographs are widely used in all fields of microscopy.
