Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM Analysis)

AFM scans a sharp probe over the sample to generate high-resolution 3D surface maps. It provides nanoscale topography, roughness, and mechanical property data (e.g., modulus, adhesion) for polymers, thin films, semiconductors, biomaterials. and more.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC Analysis)

DSC quantifies heat flow during thermal transitions such as melting, crystallization, and glass transitions. It yields data on transition temperatures, enthalpy, and thermal stability—essential for material performance analysis in research and industry.

Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) Analysis

Crystallographic mapping and microstructural analysis for metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and geological samples.

Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX or SEM-EDS)

Elemental analysis and surface characterization using SEM-integrated X-ray spectroscopy. Ideal for materials identification, failure analysis, and contamination studies.

Grinding and Polishing

Surface preparation for microscopy and analysis. Produces flat, smooth samples for SEM, EBSD, and other techniques.

Hybrid Ion Milling (Cross Section & Flat Milling)

High-precision surface and cross-section preparation for SEM, EBSD, and EDS. Ideal for delicate or complex samples.

Infrared Optical Beam Induced Resistance Change (IR-OBIRCH) Analysis

Non-destructive fault localization for integrated circuits using infrared-induced resistance change. Ideal for detecting shorts, leakage paths, and subtle defects.

Ion Sputtering

Surface modification and thin film deposition using high-energy ion bombardment. Ideal for sample preparation, coatings, and material analysis.

Mechanical Cross Section

Physical sectioning of samples to expose internal layers and structures for imaging and analysis.

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM Imaging)

Delivering ultra-detailed surface imaging for metals, polymers, ceramics, biological samples, and more. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) reveals microstructure, morphology, and failure points with precision—ideal for advanced materials characterization, forensic analysis, and quality control across industries.

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)

Thermal analysis technique for studying material stability, composition, and decomposition by monitoring weight changes with temperature.

X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF)

Non-destructive elemental analysis for metals, minerals, polymers, and more. Ideal for quality control, environmental testing, and material characterization.
