Micrography metallurgy analysis, 1937 C014 / 0466
Micrography metallurgy analysis. Researcher in the 1930s using a new photomicrograph design (right) to analyse the structural effect of corrosion on metals (left) used in aircraft construction. The US researcher is Willard H. Mutohler, one of the designers of the new device. The new design increased the speed and efficiency of such research, making it possible to obtain as many as 700 micrographs per day, with film rolls of 900 negatives removing the need to insert and replace film. Previously, only 12 micrographs per day were possible. Photographed on 18 August 1937 at the National Bureau of Standards, Washington DC, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1937 showcases the groundbreaking work of Willard H. Mutohler, an esteemed US researcher and one of the creators of a revolutionary photomicrograph design. In this image, we witness Mutohler utilizing his innovative device to analyze the structural impact of corrosion on metals used in aircraft construction. The left side of the photograph exhibits various metal samples affected by corrosion, highlighting their deteriorated state. On the right side stands Mutohler himself, engrossed in his research as he examines these micrographs with meticulous attention to detail. His new design has significantly enhanced the speed and efficiency of such analysis, enabling him to capture up to 700 micrographs per day using film rolls containing 900 negatives. Prior to this breakthrough invention, researchers were limited to capturing only 12 micrographs daily. This advancement marks a pivotal moment in materials science and metallurgy analysis during the early 20th century. Taken at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington DC on August 18th, 1937, this monochrome image encapsulates both historical significance and scientific progress. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication towards advancing our understanding of materials' behavior under corrosive conditions. Through Mutohler's pioneering work with his new photomicrograph design, aviation technology could be further improved by identifying more resilient metals for aircraft construction. This extraordinary achievement solidifies Mutohler's place among renowned scientists who have shaped our world through their analytical prowess and unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries in their respective fields.
