MT5000ER EBSD Tensile Stage
Deben MT5000ER: a 5 kN dual-motor tensile and compression stage for in-situ SEM and EBSD, with flat and 70° EBSD jaws.
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.
- Dual motor
- Horizontally mounted dual-motor stage; jaws move independently or together.
- Control
- Deben Test Suite software.
- Jaws
- User-exchangeable flat jaws and 70° tilt EBSD jaws, with a clear line of sight to the SEM lens and EBSD detector.
- Upgradable
- Can be upgraded in the field to 1000 °C heating.
