We have a variety of in situ testing platforms that allow high-resolution, real-time observation of material behaviour under mechanical and thermal stimuli inside scanning electron microscopes.

Our main facilities include:

  • An Alemnis micromechanical testing stage (Alemnis Standard Assembly)
  • Two Deben Microtest tensile/compression/bending stages
  • A Gatan Murano heating stage
  • A Gatan C1003 cryo stage*
