Description

Following a market survey of environmental scanning electron microscopy as well as nanoindenters, we have found the described procurement to be the only product fulfilling our minimum requirements, that is a combination of state-of-the-art environmental electron microscopy imaging capabilities, very high strain-rate indentation testing, and a unique indentation load range with an extremely low stress noise floor. In combination, this instrument enables measurements of both hard and soft materials under realistic atmospheric and mechanical conditions. Specifically, the following parts of the instrument are unique to this product: Scanning electron microscope equipped with environmental capabilities in combination with a field emission gun. The Thermo Fisher Quattro S system is a state-of-the-art environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), which combines the ability to achieve high vacuum (<6⋅10-4 Pa) with the ability to reach unprecedentedly high water vapor pressures up to 4000 Pa within the same ESEM chamber. Such high-water vapor is a unique feature of the Thermo Fisher Quattro system and will allow the measurements of biologically relevant samples without risk of drying …
