In-Situ Tensile Experiments on Metal Samples
Zeiss FE-SEMs
4 Sept 2017The ZEISS FE-SEM families (ZEISS GeminiSEM & ZEISS Sigma) with their in-column beam deceleration, deliver magnetic field free imaging with high resolution, a large distortion-free field of view, and an efficient Inlens SE detection. These features are especially beneficial when working with large in situ experimental setups. In this application note, ZEISS FE-SEMs are combined with a Kammrath & Weiss tensile module to demonstrate in-situ mechanical testing at room temperature, as well as during heating.

Mechanical TestingMechanical testing explores the elastic and inelastic nature of a material when force is applied. A mechanical test shows whether a material is suitable for its intended application by measuring hardness, tensile strength, elongation, elasticity, and fatigue limit.Electron MicroscopyElectron microscopes (EM) are used to create high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale by means of an accelerated beam of electrons as a source of illumination. Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
