Materialography is the microscopic structural analysis of solid materials. Originally developed for the analysis of metals, materialography is now also applied to other solid materials, such as cement, ceramics, wood and plastics. It involves the microscopic characterization of materials, imaging, and qualitative and quantitative description of constituents.

Microscopic analysis requires well-prepared samples that reflect the light. The preparation procedure includes the steps of: cutting, mounting, grinding, polishing, etching and hardness testing.
