    Here’s an image of the type of sample we want to create for the SEM images and measurements:

    400-Grit

    This is taken at 2000x and shows a very smooth shoulder and the transition to a 400 grit micro-bevel. We’ll be focused on the edge and bevel rather than the shoulder but I’m showing it here to demonstrate the smoothness of the sample we want to start with. I can easily measure the width of the scratches on this sample (5µ-10µ) but I can’t measure the depth. Hopefully they’ll be able to do that at the lab. As we get into finer and finer grits, especially below 0.5µ, the optical scope just won’t be able to focus on the finer scratches well enough to study them.
