This AFM is the most innovative, versatile and flexible platform for morphological investigation of materials. This instrument offers the broadest range of AFM modes and applications (Tapping, Contact, Phase Imaging) and is equipped with the proprietary ScanAsyst® automatic image optimization technology, which enables easier, faster, and more consistent results, regardless of user skill level.
Nikon® Thermal Vision Laird 3A incorporates a unique 410,000-pixel infrared CCD that ensures the highest resolution and state-of-the-art uniformity. The camera is used mainly inline with the mechanical testing frame / S3 combination and copes handily from -20°C to 300°C in monitoring heat distribution, charting changes in temperature over time, as well as creating temperature contour lines.
Our autoclave chamber by Aeroform Limited (Poole, UK) provides a pressurised environment of internally heated air for curing composite materials. The main features of our autoclave are:
Niki Sotiriou received her BSc in Physics from the University of Patras and is currently a Postgraduate student in the Department of Chemical Engineering, of the University of Patras.Her research interests are in the fields of plasma processing for the deposition of thin-films and surface treatment.
