Nanoindentation is key to unlocking quantitative properties of small volumes of materials. The IND-1000 is an advanced nanoindentation system for precise mechanical property measurement at the micro- to nanoscale, including elastic modulus, hardness, fracture toughness, and viscoelastic behavior.

Based on Fisher-Cripps Laboratories’ successful nanoindentation system, this technology ensures robust, reproducible results across diverse materials from semiconductors, hard thin films, multi-phase metals and ceramics to polymers and biomaterials. 

  • Used in materials science, semiconductors, ceramics, polymers, biomaterials (dental, bone), hydrogels, metals 
  • Measures mechanical properties of hard thin films, multi-phase metals, ceramics, soft films, semiconductors, plastics:
  • Elastic Modulus, Hardness, Storage and Loss Moduli, Fracture Toughness
  • Optional Atomic Force Microscope integration for surface imaging and damage investigation 
  • Enables high-resolution depth profiling and analysis of superhard thin films, polymers, minerals, and more 
  • Adhesion of thin films with one of the highest scratch lengths on the market
