Microstructural Analysis

Material development is supported using in-house microscopy equipment, with mangifications up to 3,500x. Mentis utilizes this equipment on developmental programs to optimize laminate designs, resin development, cure parameters, and coatings.

Equipment Available:

• Hirox KH-7700 Digital Microscope
• Olympus SZH10 Digital Microscope
• Buehler Isomet 4000 Linear Cutting Saw
• Buehler Ecomet 4000 Polishing Wheel
  
  

When needed, Mentis has employed other techniques such as:

• Computer Tomography Scanning (CT Scans)
• Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
• Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX)
• X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
