X-ray Microscopy (XRM)

A non-destructive microscopic technology suitable for in-depth study of materials that may not be seen via SEM and AFM. XRM provides opportunities for material characterization, observation of fracture mechanics, investigation of properties at multiple length-scales. Excellent instrument to study additive manufactured (AM) specimens, dissimilar welded metals and alloys, and in situ tensile and compressional studies.
