The Profilometer Becomes a Tool For Zoology Research!
Above is a 3D surface measurement of a fish scale with interest to identify front and back surface characteristics. Zoology Research is yet another example of the endless possible applications for the accuracy of the Nanovea Profilometer. Learn more in this months application note.
Breakthrough Measurement Proven on Steel & Aluminum
For the first time, Nanovea has developed a breakthrough method of reliably acquiring both yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) through the indentation technique; which has significant advantages when compared to the traditional tensile testing. Learn more in this months updated application note.
Using Acoustic Emission (AE) During Wear Testing
During Tribometer wear testing, the constant rubbing process of the counterface against the test sample creates a series of events, such as deformation, cracking, abrasion, phase transformation and material removal. These rapid stress-releasing events are the sources of AE. A quantifiable and reliable measurement of AE can provide more insight in the wear failure mechanism. Learn more in this months application note.

Surface Measurement. What Interferometry Is Not Telling You.
What’s important ACCURACY or RESOLUTION? Nanovea gathers critical information on the matter and further evaluates Interferometry versus Axial Chromatism. Although resolution provides a nice image on the screen, is it accurate? Learn more
