Structural test lab

Description/Services for companies

• High resolution imaging of non-organic and organic materials and their composite structures with high contrast and without charging artefacts.
• Sub-10nm nanostructures fabrication – for lithography, photonics/plasmonics etc.
• Electrical measurements - sample conductivity, resistance etc.
• Non-destructive reconstruction of internal microstructure of objects as largeas >300 mm in diameter as well submicron resolution for smaller samples.
• Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) material analysis for quantitative analysis of samples providing detailed information of a sample’s chemical composition.
