AVS has selected Asylum Research's MFP-3D Nanoindenter as one of the top five products exhibited at the AVS International Symposium.
Unlike cantilever indenters, the MFP Nanoindenter drives the indenting tip perpendicular to the surface.
This vertical drive avoids the lateral movement and errors common in cantilever-based systems.
Compared with conventional instrumented nanoindenters, the MFP Nanoindenter provides lower detection limits and higher resolution measurements of force and indentation depth, with the precision of AFM sensing technology.
The MFP's closed loop nanopositioning sensors help achieve subnanometer accuracy.
The Nanoindenter can operate in fluid and at temperatures up to 300C.
