The electron microscope’s large chamber allows technicians to view objects and study them in ways that were previously impossible. Formerly, the 76th Maintenance Support Squadron’s Metallurgical Analysis Section had to cut parts to six inches or less so they could fit in the chamber. By not having to destroy the part, it could potentially be returned to service which in turn saves taxpayer dollars.
