Description
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Quantitative Testing | Nanoscale-to-microscale mechanical testing with up to 500 mN of force and 150 μm displacement, offering extremely low noise floors. |
| Compact Design | High-rigidity load frame that easily mounts on optical or Raman microscope stages. |
| PTP Sample Mount | Allows uniaxial tensile testing of fibers, wires, and other geometries with synchronized Raman mapping. |
| Testing Modes | Indentation, Tensile, Compression, Bend |
| Indentation Testing | Pyramidal diamond probe applies load; Raman laser focuses on contact zone to observe phase transformations, amorphization, and molecular rearrangements. |
| Tensile Testing | Micro Push-to-Pull (PTP) device enables uniaxial tension on small-scale fibers, films, and 2D materials; stress and strain correlate with structural changes. |
| Compression Testing | Flattened diamond probe applies stress to microscale pillars and particles; microstructural deformation behavior observed in real-time. |
| Bend Testing | Measures elastic and fracture properties of micro-cantilevered and clamped beams; simultaneous optical imaging captures fracture initiation and propagation. |
| Integration with Raman Microscope | Compact design allows easy mounting, extended sample mount provides lens clearance, and locking stages reduce sample shift during testing. |
| Data Analysis | Synchronized mechanical and imaging data provide insights into deformation, fracture, and material evolution using TriboScan software. |
