Light micrograph of cast iron, DIC
Light micrograph of cast iron using differential interference contrast (DIC) lighting. Steel & cast iron are made by adding small amounts of carbon to iron. When the carbon level is greater than 4%, discrete flakes or particles of carbon are formed & the steel is classed as cast iron. This specimen is a " spheroidal cast iron" which, as a result of adding 0.04-0.06% magnesium, contains its excess carbon as graphite spheres (brown). The spheres make this cast iron relatively ductile. The smooth red-blue background is ferrite; the grainy areas are pearlite containing tiny spheres of cementite. Magnification: x100

Alloy Cast Iron Compound Differential Interference Contrast Graphite Light Micrograph
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a light micrograph of cast iron using differential interference contrast (DIC) lighting. Cast iron and steel are created by introducing small amounts of carbon to iron. When the carbon level exceeds 4%, distinct flakes or particles of carbon form, classifying the material as cast iron. The specimen depicted here is known as "spheroidal cast iron" which contains excess carbon in the form of graphite spheres due to the addition of 0.04-0.06% magnesium. These brown spheres contribute to the relative ductility of this particular type of cast iron. The background appears smooth and red-blue, representing ferrite, while grainy areas indicate pearlite containing minuscule cementite spheres. This intricate composition provides insight into the alloy's structure and properties under magnification at x100. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable image that delves into various aspects such as chemistry, compounds, graphite formation, light micrographs, alloys like pearlite, differential interference contrast techniques used for imaging specimens like ferrite in detail.
