Virtual Comparison Microscopy
Definition
Examination of measured surface data through a virtual viewing arrangement. Acquisition quality, alignment and display settings affect the observations. A side-by-side presentation does not itself establish source identity. State which features and validated comparison criteria support the conclusion.
