That night, the last evacuation shuttle left Perseverance . Behind them, the asteroid groaned and folded into itself, a silent implosion swallowed by the nebula.
) represents the total volume of a specific phase divided by the total volume of the material. While we live in a three-dimensional world, measuring 3D volumes directly inside an opaque metal is destructive and incredibly difficult. ASTM E562 solves this by using —the science of interpreting 3D structures from 2D cross-sections. Stereological math proves that the point fraction ( Ppcap P sub p
$$Vf = \fracP_cP_t$$
The grid can be physically inserted into the microscope eyepiece (reticle), superimposed digitally via image capture software, or placed physically over a printed micrograph.
RA=(95% CIP̄)×100cap R cap A equals open paren the fraction with numerator 95 % CI and denominator cap P bar end-fraction close paren cross 100 The standard typically targets an RAcap R cap A of 10% to 20% depending on the application requirements.

. This standard provides a manual procedure for estimating the volume fraction of an identifiable constituent or phase in a specimen (such as a metal or alloy) using a point grid overlay. iTeh Standards
The results are straightforward to calculate: That night, the last evacuation shuttle left Perseverance
