Polished Cross Sections
This sample preparation technique embeds the sample in epoxy, cuts through an area of interest and polishes that surface to a mirror finish so that the cross section can be examined by light microscopy or SEM. Useful in examining and measuring layered samples, looking for voids as well as many other FA applications.
Unknown Materials ID
Useful when you have a solid, liquid, gel, powder, fiber, or multiphase material of unknown origin that needs to be identified. By using a combination of microscopy techniques and in-house methods we are able to categorize your sample if not identify it specifically. Let us take the “un” out of your unknown.
