Thank you for this tuitorial

[@Duncanwg7]

When you measure the scale line, should the line be placed on the inside, middle point or outside of the thick black vertical lines of the scale?

[@peterndungu3615]

Thank you. Awesome video. I have a question, where is the Fixed length line tool located in ImageJ? In my version I do not seem to find it. Do i need a plugin?

[@peterndungu3615]

No worries, I got it.

[@clearheartboy777]

how did you color your image? each grains different color.

[@lakshmiviswanadha3454]

Can this be used for ceramics?

[@vv-ky4bi]

i am using mean intercept method. after finding l value then what to do? G= 2n-1 one formula, another one G=-6.6457logl-3.298 is there. i m confused..

How do I calculate MLI in Excel?

[@SUMMTraining]

Hi Vimal, thank you for getting in touch. Dr Shakib will be making a new video on this topic in the new year. Don't forget to subsribe to our channel so you can watch the video as soon as it is released.

​@@SUMMTraining How do I calculate MLI in non-equiaxial grains and polyphase microstructure? Thaks!

[@SUMMTraining]

@@wadewang5908 Hello. This is a good question. I will direct you to some good sources of information. 1 - ATSM E1382 2 - ASTM E112 3 - ISO 14250, Steel - Metallographic characterization of duplex grain size and distributions 4 - www.researchgate.net/publication/269525340_Measuring_the_Grain_Size_of_Specimens_with_Non-Equiaxed_Grains

@@SUMMTraining Still waiting for that video.

@@wadewang5908 hello did you find any? I am still looking for a way to calculate MLI in ferritic matrix with carbides
