R: Hey, do you wanna see something that reminded me of Iron Leaguer?
Me: sure
R: [image of a bullet point list. it reads: "Metallography is a five step process. Section, mount, grind, etch, polish. All steps are not performed every time]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dx7gsu7srytgznevn5mnpui3/bafkreihv2iohjjuwdxrrjaq7bnmdh5utvbjfiwwrpy5civoegrnwqtieae)

On #FindsFriday I present a question! This #metallography of a late iron age #slag has an inclusion I cannot identify! The slag contains fayalite and wustite indicating iron #smelting, but what is this layering around the cavity?

I started using enzymatic metallography back in 2015 when studying head development in fish embryos in Brian Metscher's MicroCT lab in Vienna. The crisp black signal caused by silver precipitation by a HRP-conjugated antibody is almost as beautiful under a stereoscope as it is stunning under X-rays.

That looks like it might be for metallography? It’s the study of the atomic and chemical structure of all types of metallic alloys using mostly microscopes. Just a guess! :3

If you want to cast the diffraction pattern on chocolate, try etching off the oxide layer. It's probably going to be tricky.
There's specific etchants used in metallography that are good at attacking oxides but not so aggressive to the parent metal.
