Metallographic
When it comes to metallography, you may think a saw is a saw and a microscope is a microscope. Each step you take to prepare your sample for analysis can seem isolated from all the rest. At LECO, we see it differently. Our start-to-finish complete metallographic solution is designed to streamline sample preparation. Whether you’re a high-throughput, busy laboratory or working on specialized, unique analyses, the LECO metallographic solution will work for you.
