Surface Analysis Lab

MES offers a first class surface analysis lab for high magnification study of your samples.

The MES lab analytical techniques provide high magnification characterization and chemistry of metals, ceramics, minerals, polymers, and other materials. Identification of thin films, inorganic phases, precipitates, defects, and contaminants are also possible with our E-Beam lab. Elemental dot maps or line scan profiles are produced with either EDS or WDS chemical data collection.

The MES surface analysis department offers high resolution surface examination tools, including:

• Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM)

• Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (WDS)

• Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDX/EDS)

• Optical Light Digital Microscopy

• X-ray Inspection

PRIMARY SURFACE ANALYSIS TESTING INSTRUMENTATION INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:

• Zeiss HD-15 with WDS; Thermo Dry EDS

• JEOL 6460LV Scanning Electron Microscope; INCA EDS

Digital micrographs are produced with our high quality image capturing equipment.
