SUMMARY Microscopy plays an important role in the evaluation of the micromechanical properties of fibre‐matrix interfaces. The methods rely on the use of microscopy to undertake each test successfully. Physical parameters are evaluated quantitatively and the interface morphology is assessed qualitatively. This paper reviews the use of microscopy in evaluating the fibre–matrix interfacial properties of composites.
