The liquid cell for nanoindentation studies of bio-materials and polymers

Nanoindentation in a liquid bath from Micro Materials

Provides nanoindenter adaptor attached to the pendulum to allow indenter to be immersed in a liquid bath.

·           Calibrations are automatically switched to pre-stored under-liquid calibrations through software switch, at the end use the software switch will revert back to standard in air calibrations.

·           Perspex sample viewing window.

·           Capacitive plates are kept remote so that condensation is not an issue.

·           Heating of bath up to 50 degrees can be achieved (user to provide heating equipment)

·           Liquid can exchanged - requires pump systems or syringe.

·           Frame compliance is kept to a minimum

·           Includes bath and Berkovich indenter.
