1. Methods for investigating local textures
1.1 Optical measurements – Universal stage microscope
An early attempt to broaden the approach to knowledge of microstructure was stereology, based on optical microscopy, but traditionally without regard to crystal structure. The advantages of optical microscopy include wide availability, observation of microstructure at low magnification, measurement of the shape, size and network of grain boundaries, and phase discrimination. Disadvantages include low resolution and very partial crystallographic information.
The oldest technique for measuring individual crystallite orientations in polycrystalline materials is the polarized light optical method.
