R&D MAGAZINE RECOGNIZING NANOVEA M3
The control loop between the piezo-electric transducer in the Nanovea M3, combined with an ultra sensitive load cell, helps ensure that the load applied is accurate and reproducible. High precision of the capacitive ring enables accurate depth measurement providing an automatic depth versus load curve with hardness and elastic modulus data meeting ASTM E2546 Nanoindentation requirements using precise motorized staging, the test is repeated quickly to deliver repeatable and accurate averaging of five tests. The Nano Module head also eliminates many of the color and texture problems associated with image recognition software. Read More R&D Magazine
