Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) provides detailed surface imaging and microstructural analysis of materials at the nanoscale. Using a focused electron beam, SEM generates high-magnification images with exceptional depth of field, making it ideal for investigating surface morphology, material defects, and coatings.
Capabilities:
High-resolution imaging (nanometer-scale)
Elemental composition analysis via Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS)
Failure analysis and surface topology examination
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) provides ultra-high-resolution surface profiling by measuring atomic-level interactions between a sharp probe and the sample surface. Unlike SEM, AFM can analyze non-conductive materials without requiring sample coating.
Capabilities:
3D surface topography mapping
Nanomechanical property measurement (elasticity, adhesion, stiffness)
Imaging in ambient or liquid environments for biological materials
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) allows for ultra-high-resolution imaging of a material’s internal structure, revealing crystallographic defects, nanoparticles, and molecular arrangements. By passing electrons through an ultrathin sample, TEM provides unparalleled insight into a material’s microstructure.
Capabilities:
Atomic-scale imaging for structural and chemical analysis
Electron diffraction for crystal orientation studies
High-resolution imaging of nanoparticles, polymers, and biomaterials
Biomechanical Testing
Biomechanical testing assesses the mechanical performance of biomaterials, implants, and soft tissues under physiological conditions. This ensures that materials used in medical devices and prosthetics meet safety, durability, and performance standards.
Capabilities:
Tensile, compression, and shear testing for biomaterials
Fatigue and wear analysis for implants and prosthetics
Real-time testing in simulated biological environments
