Bruker Introduces Nanoscratch Capability for Nanomechanical Testing
Bruker announced the release of a nanoscale scratch option for its NanoForce Nanomechanical Testing System. The new option brings the precision and stability of the NanoForce to controlled lateral displacement between tip and sample during nanoindentation. This significantly expands the platform’s capabilities to characterize the resistance of thin films and coatings to scratching, cracking, chipping, scuffing, and delamination, without compromising its ability to accurately investigate the uniformity of mechanical properties over large sample areas.

The Super-Long-Range Nanopositioner SLR1500
The SLR1500 is the longest travel range piezostage available: it can move 1,500 microns in closed-loop mode. This stage is exceptionally reliable due to a totally frictionless assembly. This piezostage also uses special piezostacks tolerant to any damage and offers highest reliability for critical application. Contrary to traditional nanopositioners, if the piezostack is damaged, the remaining ceramic elements continue to operate. The SLR1500 can be combined to form 2- or even 3-axis nanopositioning systems.

Microscopic Imaging of Large or Irregularly Shaped Samples
The ProZ motorized focus stand is the ideal solution for viewing and imaging samples that may be too large, or irregularly shaped. Offering a large travel range of 250 mm and flexible mounting adapters, and accommodating most microscopes, means when using the ProZ you are no longer restricted by the small focus travel of standard microscope frames and stands. The ProZ stand enables the imaging of samples that until now could not easily be analyzed.
