mechincal property mapping

Mechanical Property Broadview Mapping Tool

Seen above is an example of Nanovea’s patent pending Broadview Map Selection Tool. This new tool allows users easy selection of any location on a broad stitched surface view of the sample. Additionally, the user can select all testing parameters at each location, either for a one test or a multi-tests mapping. All locations and test parameters can be saved in easily retrievable recipes. This significant advancement provides fast & friendly Nano through Macro mechanical property studies.
