The development of advanced structural ceramics, which are used in specific components working under extreme conditions, require their microstructural analysis. The microscopy of structural ceramics is reviewed, beginning with various imaging techniques. The important microstructural features of three ceramics—alumina (the Figure shows an internal sensor AFM image), zirconia, and silicon nitride—and several composites are briefly outlined.
