- Comprehensive metallographic polishing facilities
- Precision Ion Etching and Coating System (Gatan PECS 682): Provides not only the ability to “Dry” etching as an alternative to chemical etching but also, in the same vacuum chamber, coat the surface with Ar ion sputter nano-scale coatings with thickness controlled by a film thickness sensor; this provides us with the capability to apply protective conductive films over very clean surfaces
- Broad area digital light microscopy by conventional and polarized reflected light with a digitally controlled stage and integrated software for through-focal image assembly and higher resolution image mosaic collection
- Hardness and fracture toughness measurement using diamond micro-indenters
