It is a common activity for researchers in materials science, the constant use of scanned images generated by electron microscopes. While virtually all equipment that generate these images (micrographs) can use a file type most suitable for capturing image data generated (as TIFF or RAW files in case of metallography), many researchers choose to use a file format more common as JPEG, for example, perhaps the reason of the space available on portable storage devices (USB, CD or DVD) that owns, or by the lack of knowledge about the types of image files and their appropriate use. The problem with the use of certain types of image formats is mainly the loss of the original data captured by an electron microscope. As if that were not enough, the application of filters and processes in the original image must also be carefully crafted so as not to lose or change data captured or data relevant to the study. This article seeks to highlight the treatment of images in research and publications done by researchers with no knowledge of this matter, since the use of scanned images is only a resource to continue the progress of their own research. Furthermore, this article aims to promote a discussion on how to treat the problem of digital images published in scientific papers so that researches can really be replicated in full.
