The in situ PI 85 PicoIndenter is a full-fledged depth-sensing nanoindenter capable of direct-observation of nanomechanical tests inside the SEM respectively and provide quantitative force-displacement data which can be time-correlated to real-time events in the SEM videos.
Key features and applications for PI 85 SEM
- Electrostatic actuation and capacitive displacement sensing transducer technology.
- Load or displacement controlled testing modes for quasi-static nanoindentation.
- Nanomechanical properties including hardness, stiffness, and elastic modulus
- 10,000 µN maximum force; 5 µm maximum displacement.
