As the world leader in nanomechanical testing systems, Bruker makes it easy for you to conduct in-situ mechanical experiments in your microscope with the Hysitron PI Series PicoIndenters. Our unique transducer design delivers unmatched stability throughout your experiments, resulting in precise data even at the nanoscale. Video capture from the microscope enables real-time monitoring and direct correlation of mechanical data to microscope imaging. With solutions designed to fit many of the microscope brands in use, you are sure to find one that is ideally suited to your research.
Nanoindentation
Precise lateral positioning and nanoscale load and depth control allow for the quantitative determination of fundamental mechanical properties such as hardness and elastic modulus for a wide variety of materials.
Tensile
Direct-pull and Push-to-Pull (PTP) testing of dog-bone specimens, thin films, or nanowires allows for the in-situ measurement of stress-strain behavior in low dimensional materials not easily tested by traditional means.
Bending
Accurate loading alignment and specimen size measurement using SEM imaging enables straightforward bending stiffness and fracture toughness measurements for single-phase, composite, or layered materials.
Compression
Pillars, particles, and other small scale structures can be compressed to measure stress-strain behavior and yield properties while observing deformation mechanisms in real time. Proper tip alignment is verified using SEM imaging.
Our webinars cover best practices, introduce new products, provide quick solutions to tricky questions, and offer ideas for new applications, modes, or techniques.
