Bruker Hysitron PI 89 SEM Picoindenter

The Hysitron PI 89 SEM PicoIndenter is an accessory attachment to the Quanta SEM that allows advanced imaging capabilities making it possible to perform quantitative nanomechanical testing while simultaneously imaging. PI 89 further advances Bruker's market-leading capacitive transducer technology, which enabled the first commercial in-situ SEM nanomechanics platforms.

Features and Capabilities

  • Provides intrinsic displacement actuation and displacement control from <1nm to 150µm
  • Load range from <1µN to 3.5N, and 78kHz
  • Feedback rate and data acquisition up to 39kHz to capture transient events
  • 1 nm encoded linear stages provide greater repeatability during automated testing modes while increasing travel range
  • Improved frame stiffness (~0.9 x 106 N/m) delivers greater stability throughout the testing process
  • The uniquely low-current design of the transducer minimizes thermal drift and provides unprecedented load and displacement sensitivity
  • Supports a full suite of in-situ testing techniques and options including elevated temperature, nanoTribology, electrical characterization module, nanoDynamic, Push-to-Pull, direct-pull tension, high strain rate, and scanning probe microscopy imaging

Uses and Applications

  • Nanoindentation
  • Pillar compression
  • Particle compression
  • fracture, fatigue, dynamic testing
  • mechanical properties mapping
  • Can be upgraded to perform tensile testing and cantilever bending
