Microscopy

Plarion’s advanced microscopy suite includes the following tools;

AFM (atomic force microscopy)
  • With conductive and tapping modes for nanometre resolution surface profiling.
White light ellipsometry
  • For measuring the optical properties of multi-layered films, eg refractive index & thickness
  • SEM (scanning electron microscope) with EDX (Energy Dispersive X ray) analysis
  • For materials evaluation and failure analysis, for example of fine fractures..
Optical microscopy
  • With standard brightfield mode, darkfield mode for examining biological samples and subtle surface defects, and oil immersion mode for increased resolution.
Defect scanning
  • Surface inspection for detection of material irregularities and defects.
Dektak profilometry
  • For millimetre scale surface profiling with nanometre scale accuracy.
