A New P.E. on Staff
Congratulations to MEE staff member, Dan Grice P.E., who just received his professional engineering license. To add those two letters, P.E., after his name meant completing a four-year college degree (Dan has a B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering), working under a Professional Engineer for at least four years and passing two intensive competency exams.

Let it Snow!
Fun image from our files. This image was created by capturing snow and frost on a chilled aluminum block. The sample was then digitally imaged using the scanning electron microscope. Color was added to the black and white image using graphic editing software.
Another Way to Look at Things…
We just purchased a research grade Olympus SZX16 stereo microscope equipped with a super high resolution, digital, micro-imaging camera. This is an excellent addition to our light microscopy laboratory. With easy shifting from macro-view to micro-view, it is a specialized and powerful tool for fracture examination, corrosion studies and general failure analysis. We’re looking forward to putting our newest […]
Sample Handling and Fracture Analysis
