Quasistatic nanoindentation – Measure Young’s modulus, hardness, fracture toughness, and other mechanical properties via nanoindentation.
Scratch testing – Quantify scratch resistance, critical delamination forces, and friction coefficients with simultaneous normal and lateral force and displacement monitoring.
Top-down optics – High- resolution, colour CCD camera for individual structure identification and coarse test positioning.
SPM imaging – In-situ imaging using the indenter tip provides nanometer precision test positioning and surface topography information
Dual head testing capability for true nano/micro-scale connectivity
Active vibration isolation system providing environmental separation
Available modules:
nanoDMA – Investigate time-dependent properties of materials using a dynamic testing technique designed specifically for polymers and biomaterials
Modulus Mapping – Obtain quantitative maps of the storage and loss stiffness and moduli from a single SPM scan 3D OmniProbe – Provides forces up to 10 N and scratch lengths up to 150 mm for depth- sensing micro-indentation and tribological studies
nanoECR – Conductive nanoindentation system capable of providing simultaneous in-situ electrical and mechanical measurements for investigating material deformation and stress-induced transformation behaviour
Thermal control – Heating/cooling stages can be added for the investigation of mechanical properties at non-ambient temperatures
Vacuum stage – Wafer mounting system that eliminates the necessity of glueing or cutting wafers prior to testing
Long probes that allow to safely investigate the mechanical properties of samples immersed in water.
