Nanoindentation for professionals
In material testing, the dynamic method has increasingly come to complement classic nanoindentation. Analogous to dynamic-mechanical analysis (DMA), it allows testing of the visco-elastic properties of substances. The FISCHERSCOPE® HM2000 determines properties such as the indentation hardness and the depth-dependent elastic modulus – and all of that in the nanometer range!
If you want to measure a sample in multiple places or do automated testing, the FISCHERSCOPE HM2000 is ideal. In just a few clicks, you can program in the measuring points – the instrument takes care of the rest.
In addition to quality testing in electroplating, a common area of application for the FISCHERSCOPE HM2000 is the characterization of polymers at different temperatures. For this purpose, the automated system can be equipped with a heating stage.
