Expertise in material characterisation in the laboratory

First of all, the main step in the characterisation of a material is the thorough and meticulous study of its surface, as this determines an important part of its properties.

In the context of a thorough characterisation of the surface of a material, the use of Scanning Electron Microscopy-EDX technology is indispensable. SEM-EDX is a microscopic analysis technique using a field effect gun (FEG). This technique produces very high resolution images of the surface of a sample (magnification of the order of *1000000).

The SEMs are coupled with EDX probes allowing for extremely accurate analysis of your materials. These SEM-EDX techniques are equipped with a signal detection in column 20 times more intense than that of a conventional Scanning Electron Microscope. Thus, the SEM-EDX allows non-destructive, accurate and fast observations and analysis of investigations.

Thus, within the framework of a process of characterization of matter in laboratory, the expertise of a laboratory equipped with SEM-EDX is essential.
