VISIT NANOVEA AT MMC 2014
Visit with Nanovea’s exclusive distributor, Mi-Net, at MMC 2014 booth 312. MMC 2014 is the combination of the very best of the 2012 European Microscopy Congress and the MICROSCIENCE International Conference and Exhibition series, by the Royal Microscopical Society. Contact Mi-Net to learn more.
Rotative and Linear Wear Comparative Study
The wear rate of an acrylic plate is measured in a controlled and monitored manner using linear and rotative wear test setups on the Nanovea Tribometer for comparison. In this study we would like to showcase the versatility of the Nanovea Tribometer in measuring wear rate using multiple setups.
Tooth Wear Measurement Using 3D Profilometry
In this application the Nanovea ST400 Profilometer is used to measure the surface of a tooth sample mounted in epoxy that has been put through a chewing simulator. The area measured was the resulting wear and the surrounding surface area. The
maximum width, depth, perimeter, surface area, and volume lost will be used to characterize the wear track.
