PICOINDENTER: Bruker Hysitron PI89 for FEI Quanta SEM
- Used for nanoindentation, tensile testing, pillar compression, cantilever bending, fracture, fatigue, dynamic testing, mechanical properties mapping
- Intrinsic displacement actuation and displacement control from <1nm to 150µm
- Load range from <1µN to 3.5N, and 78kHz
- 1 nm encoded linear stages provide greater repeatability during automated testing modes while increasing travel range
- The uniquely low-current design of the transducer minimizes thermal drift and provides unprecedented load and displacement sensitivity
