Optical Microscope

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-5

Polishing machine equipped with an autosampler, to prepare embedded sections and surfaces, with a finish at 1 µm.
