Nano Indentation Tester

Applications

The Nano-Indentation Tester is specially suited to load and penetrate with depth measurements at the nanometer scale. The Nano-Indentation Tester can be used in the analysis of organic and inorganic soft and hard coatings. Examples are thin and multilayer PVD, CVD, PECVD, photoresist, paints lacquers, and many other types of films, covering optical, micro- electronic, protective, decorative and other applications. Substrates can be hard or soft, including metal alloys, semiconductors, glass, refractive and organic materials.
