Optical microscopy
The microscopy lab has a number of microscopes using different techniques. We use incident light and transmitted light. Incident light microscopy is widely for surface analysis. Transmitted light microscopy is mostly used for morphological studies. Combination of these techniques give full services within research and development, failure analysis and trouble shooting for internal and external customers.
