Examining Coatings

Caption

Sandia National Laboratories researcher Guangping Xu employs a digital optical microscope to examine the unusually hard coatings his lab has produced. The aim is better, cheaper protection of instruments and drivers in danger of fast-moving debris flung by Sandia’s Z machine when it fires. The coatings offer many other possibilities as well.
