An automatic nano-mechanical testing system for hardness and elastic modulus determination for thin films and coatings.

Specifications and Capabilities:

• Patented three plate capacitive transducer for industry-leading sensitivity and stability (minimized drift) for faster data acquisition with more accuracy and repeatability.
• Transducer specification: Load Resolution: resolution<1nN; noise floor = 100nN
• Displacement: resolution: 0.0004nm; noise floor = 0.2nm; drift < 0.05nm/sec
• High frequency testing for investigation of polymers and biomaterials.
