LGH1500C - TU Dublin - Benchtop Scanning Electron Microscope with Tensile Testing

Descriptions

A benchtop scanning electron microscope with a low equipment footprint, capable of •High resolution magnifications of at least 100k X •Tensile strength testing. •Holding samples of up to 80 mm and larger in size. •EDS or EDX analysis for elemental mapping in variable pressure environments. •Providing 3D and large area imaging and live video to synchronise with the mechanical testing. Some potential applications include:•Examining particle morphology and shape•Examining surface features•Supporting laser diffraction particle sizing method development work•Imaging and Identification of contaminants (e.g. spots on a tablet)•Measuring sample elemental composition and mapping elemental distribution•Measuring the tensile strength of materials•Samples to be tested would include metallurgical samples, powders, thin films, microneedle arrays, solid dosage forms (e.g. tablets) and drug-coated substrates (e.g. stents or catheters).The SEM system should be flexible and allow for purchase of additional functionality (hardware and software) at a later date to keep up-to-date with developments in the field.
