Microscopy analysis and investigations

Norner has a modern and well equipped microscopy laboratory which is internationally recognised.

  • We offer advanced sample preparation and various microscopy techniques.
  • Our laboratory is able to investigate and identify challenges within the whole value chain, from gas to plastic to end products.

We can offer the following analysis:

LM - Light Microscope or Optical microscope (OM):

Reveals not seen by the naked eye. Transmitted or incident light manipulated by lenses and a variety of contrast techniques is used as an analytical tool to differ between structures in materials.

SEM-EDS - Scanning Electron Microscope - Energy Dispersive Spectrometer:

Element mapping and visualization, surface finish, contaminations, failure and fracture investigation in all kind of solid materials

  • Consultations and problem solving
  • Product and material imperfections
  • Weakness in product design
  • Material and surface structures
  • Flow patterns build in stresses in plastic parts
  • Crystal structures
  • Powder morphology
  • Phase distribution of inhomogeneous materials
