OverviewA measurement system for evaluating material properties of micro regions (semiconductors, LSI, ceramics, hard disks, vapor-deposited films and thin coatings) and for hardness assessment of plastics and rubbers. The instrument records dynamic indentation depth during loading rather than the residual indentation after test, enabling measurement of very thin films and surface/treatment layers. The dynamic data also provide values required to calculate the elastic modulus of specimens.
Features- Evaluation of hardness and material parameters in accordance with standards (ISO 14577-1 Annex A)
- High-precision evaluation of elastic modulus
