Applications

ASPEX Scanning Electron Microscope technology can be found at work in a wide range of industries today around the world. Within these industries, our systems have been utilized to examine and analyze the "unknown and unseen" in a broad spectrum of production-environment and laboratory applications, including:

• Surface Characterization - critical to product function and performance.
  
  
• Particles & Features - the size, shape, and composition of material are essential in the overall design of most products.
  
  
• Critical Cleanliness - a common class of contamination problems arises when a manufacturer needs to verify that its product is suitably free of a specific kind or class of particulate contaminant, such as a toxic or abrasive material.
  
  
• Elemental Analysis - by simply pointing and clicking at a feature of interest, its compositional data is immediately displayed.
  
  
• Quality Control - understanding your processes requires reliable, insightful data and as tolerances become tighter, it becomes necessary to understand the microscopic character of your materials and processes.
  
  
• Product Purity - we offer powerful tools for automating the process of microcontamination analysis.
  
  
• Wear Debris - the monitoring of oil-wetted components is often used at the field level to manage the risk associated with the failure of these components.
  
  
• Failure Analysis - microscopic analysis of fractured surfaces provides indispensable information on the root cause of the failure.
  
  
• Environmental - from the air we breathe to the water we drink, quantification of microscopic particulate is increasingly recognized as a necessity to ensure a viable environment.
  
  
• Research, Development & Education - produce quality results quickly and efficiently and involves students in the excitement of science.
