Equipped with an electron microscope, it enables load tests, electrical tests, heating tests, etc., with a lineup of attachable models for standalone movable models and SEMs.
Equipped with an SEM, a pyramid-shaped indenter is pressed into a flat sample surface, allowing for precise control and measurement of displacement and load at the nanoscale. From the acquired data, mechanical properties such as hardness and elastic modulus of the sample in extremely small areas can be derived. Our products can be used for various tests such as compression, tension, and scratching by changing the shape and operation of the indenter. - High-precision load and displacement control - Real-time (In-situ) testing and data acquisition while observing the measurement area - Diverse tests including compression, indentation, tension, scratching, and fatigue - Stable measurements even in high-load and long-duration tests - Stress testing while applying voltage and heating

basic information
It is a mechanical tester or nanoindenter that can be mounted inside an electron microscope (SEM/TEM) to conduct in-situ measurements of the mechanical properties (such as indentation, compression, tension, bending, scratching, vibration, etc.) of micro/nano-sized structures. In the nanoindentation method, the applied load and indentation depth are represented in a load-displacement curve, and the hardness of the material is evaluated by calculating the information obtained from that curve. It also supports electrical testing and heating tests. We offer standalone models equipped with optical microscopes, as well as models that can be attached to SEMs, optical microscopes, synchrotron beams, and more. The minimum load unit is 1 nN, and the minimum displacement detection is 10 pm, allowing for high-precision analysis. In addition to materials such as silicon, quartz glass, and Ni alloys, it can also be utilized in manufacturing processes like deep reactive ion etching (DRIE), LIGA, and laser processing. Furthermore, we provide analysis solutions using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) to analyze the distribution of strain and displacement based on the obtained images.
