Key features

EBSD and SEM imaging
Optimised for both EBSD at a 70° pre-tilt and horizontal SEM imaging, with flat samples in either position.
Live observation
Watch slip bands, strain marks, dislocations and crystalline defects in the SEM while the sample is loaded.
Single leadscrew
Horizontally mounted stage with precision slides and a stainless-steel leadscrew.
Control
Deben Test Suite software.
Load cells
200 N, 1 kN or 2 kN.
