Materials, surfaces and microscopy

Diffraction, texture, grain structure, mechanical testing and hyperspectral mapping. Two themes run through the section: reciprocal-space and pole-figure data live on non-Cartesian grids that must be projected before plotting, and material properties are so often power laws that the fatigue and diffraction examples are naturally read on log axes.
