Make: Mitutuoyo

Model: Mitutuoyo-HB210

  • Tester vary primarily in load range.
  • Accommodate either the vicker's or Knoop Indenters.
  • Load from 10 to 1000 gf are directly applied to the top of the indenter.
  • For a high-accuracy measurement, the test should be performed on a flat specimen with a polished or prepared surface.
  • The quality of the required surface is dependent on the force used.
  • In all the tests, the indentation perimeter and depth should be clearly defined when observed by the microscope.

Useful for multiple disciplines of research such as Materials Science, Mechanical engineering, Crystal Growth.

Make: N/A

Model: N/A

  • Measure the nonlinear optical properties of materials.
  • Determine intrinsic photo-physical properties of materials by focusing a single laser beams onto the surface of the materials sample.
  • Measurements need to be taken at different laser pulse energies or different laser pulse lifetimes in order to determine what nonlinear processes are present.
  • Sample (of size 1mm x 1- 10 mm x 1-10 mm) should be flat with a polished surface.

Useful for multiple disciplines of research such as Materials Science, Crystals and Optical materials.
