Their advantages and disadvantages for special sample types are discussed. The examples discussed cover different coating-substrate material combinations including a model sample with artifical damage as well as "real" samples, e.g. sheets with a typical lacquer for carsencoating thicknessthermal scanning microscopyThermographiethermographyultrasonic C-scanvibrometer620658670Nondestructive testing of coatingsconference paper
