The Picture Guide is one of four main features of the Wear Particle Atlas CD-ROM. It helps to locate the relevant or matching Atlas page by allowing the user to compare the main characteristics of the sample micrograph with those of the Atlas pictures. A total of 14 Image Guide pages are available to aid in the particle type identification process.

When Atlas is first started, the Home Page as shown on the right appears. On this page there are 8 wear particle images which are representative of 8 sub-categories, respectively.

The sub-category contains representative particle images depicting additional sub-categories that can be clicked until the Browsing Atlas page is displayed and the correct particles are found. The following example illustrates this process. On the Picture Guide Home Page, select "Nonferrous Materials". The Picture Guide Page, "Nonferrous Materials" as shown below will appear. Select "Copper-Ferrogram" and the Browsing Atlas Page for copper particles will appear. It contains several sets of copper ferrogram pictures.
