Fossil Mechanical Properties using Nanoindentation

In this application, the Nanovea Mechanical Tester, in Nanoindentation mode is used to map fossil mechanical properties of different locations of an ammonite fossil sample. We would like to  showcase the capacity of Nanovea Mechanical Tester in performing nanoindentation mapping on a fossil sample with high precision and reproducibility.

Rock Tribology Using Tribometer

In this study, we simulated and compared the tribological properties of two types of rocks to showcase the capacity of Nanovea Tribometer in measuring the coefficient of friction and wear rate of rock tribology  in a controlled and monitored manner.
