Cross section (electronics): Preparation, Analysis techniques for cross sections & Solder joints

In electronics, a cross section, or microsection, is a prepared electronics sample that allows analysis at a plane that cuts through the sample. It is a destructive technique requiring that a portion of the sample be cut or ground away to expose the internal plane for analysis. They are commonly prepared for research, manufacturing quality assurance…
