New microscope - fascinating insights into future materials
Microscopic picture of a magnetizable nickel particle. The modeling of such particles in the context of magnetically active materials is often based on the assumption of spherical particles - using the new microscope now allows to assess a more realistic particle shape.
Our chair can now use a new device to generate highly resolved images of cracks, the superficial structure of particles and many other objects of interest. By combining the capabilities of classical optical microscopes with a laser scanning technique which allows a vertical resolution on the nanoscale, the microscope Keyence VK-X 1050 facilitates to go beyond the things that are visible with the human eye and uncovers microstructural phenomena within the materials and processes of our everyday research.
We are looking forward to further fascinating images and are confident to incorporate the upcoming insights into our future work.
