Optical Microscope
Owner: Tingting Zhang
Principle: | Sample surfaces can be analyzed using reflection mode, while the structure of materials can be studied using transmitted light (samples must be a few micrometers thick). A large variety of contrast modes exist to highlight different aspects of material structures, depending on the information needed. | |
|---|---|---|
Capabilities: | Multiple function analysis including but not limited as surface structure, flow mark, orientation/distribution of fillers, flash, defect analysis, etc. | |
Asset: | ||
Keyence VHX-7000 system:Observation of samples at higher magnifications (x20-x200,X200–X2000) in reflection or transmission, and digital camera. External handheld |
lens (x20-x200) for special samples. |
Preparative Techniques: |
Polisher: Struers LaboPol-5Polishing machine equipped with an autosampler, to prepare embedded sections and surfaces, with a finish at 1 µm. |
Sinpa Projector_Shrinkage test
Owner: Mengjun Guo
Principle: | Compare the dimensions of the mold and the color chips, and calculate the shrinkage of the sample. | |
