Unlocking the Potential of Your SEM: The Future of In-Situ Automated Nanoindentation with Bruker’s New PI 89 Auto SEM PicoIndenter
Seamlessly conduct nanoindentation, imaging, EBSD, and EDS
In this on-demand webinar, hear all about the newest PicoIndenter, directly from Bruker’s experts. With encoded linear stages and a patented dual-configuration rotation and tilt (R/T) stage mechanism, PI 89 Auto accelerates the process of conducting nanoindentation, imaging, EBSD, and EDS from the same sample location.
Watch the webinar to learn how PI 89 Auto delivers:
- High-throughput automated nanoindentation with limited user interaction
- Co-localized metrology with SEM imaging and EBSD/EDS analysis for structure-processing-property correlations supporting materials development
- A patented dual-configuration rotation and tilt stage to easily align with relevant detectors
The webinar includes a demonstration of the Hysitron PI 89 Auto SEM PicoIndenter and its applications.
Webinar Summary
In this on-demand webinar, Bruker’s new Hysitron PI 89 Auto SEM PicoIndenter is introduced. This nanomechanical test instrument is an in-situ nanoindenter designed to increase throughput and facilitate co-localized imaging and metrology. PI 89 Auto incorporates seamless imaging/EBSD/EDS interfacing using the encoded linear stages and a patented dual-configuration rotation and tilt (R/T) mechanism.
PI 89 Auto includes:
- Base PI 89 platform with controller
- Advanced rotation and tilt (R/T) stage
- TriboScan Auto software, which enables automation testing capabilities
Presenters demonstrate how PI 89 Auto can help to establish a correlation between structure, processing, and properties of materials. Establishing these correlations quickly is especially valuable for industrial markets like automotive, steels, nuclear, and semiconductor.
