Some commercial photoresists have been examined to assess their suitability for use with the moiré method of surface-strain measurement. As most of these materials do not produce a pattern of high contrast directly, some etching and plating procedures are also described. Combined with correct illumination, these processes will produce grids of sufficient contrast for most applications.
