Bruker NanoForce
The new NanoForce nanoindenter combines proven Bruker technology: the most stable platform and precision stage together with best-in-class voice coil nanoindenter detectors, resulting in the highest precision and accuracy. The system includes an AFM head for true nanoscale imaging, with positioning accuracy in the 100nm range. This opens up new applications including pile-up measurement and fracture crack analysis.
See the new technology in action at the workshop. Bring your own samples to test, and see live demonstrations of:
- Imaging capability of the separate, integrated AFM head
- Positioning accuracy of the stage combined with low thermal drift
- Indents from μN up to 45 mN
