Bruker Hysitron PI 95
In-situ depth-sensing nanomechanical test system for TEM
The Hysitron PI 95 is the first full-fledged depth-sensing indenter for nanomechanical testing inside Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). Acquire quantitative mechanical data while simultaneously imaging the mechanical response of nanoscale materials in real time. Data is synchronised with the video, to help you understand the causes of force or displacement transients, including dislocation bursts, phase transformations, spalling, shear banding and fractures.
- Quantitative nanomechanical testing
- Compatible with most major TEMs inc JEOL, FEI (Philips), Hitachi & Zeiss (LEO)
- Advanced performech digital controller with 78kHz feedback rate
- Active vibration dampening, with Hysitron’s proprietary Q-Control
- Upgrade options including heating, electrical, nanoScratch and dynamic
