Microscopy and metallography laboratory

• Engineering & Technology

Tel.: +34 943 882 303

A laboratory specializing in the microstructural and compositional characterization of metallic materials at the micro- and nanoscale.

It combines conventional metallography with optical microscopy and high-resolution ZEISS Ultra Plus field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM). The laboratory enables crystallographic analysis (EBSD), compositional analysis (EDS), and morphological characterization with sub-nanometer resolution.

Equipment

• ZEISS Ultra Plus field-emission scanning electron microscope (FEG-SEM) equipped with EDS and EBSD systems.
• Metallographic cutting machines.
• Grinding and polishing machines.
• Chemical etching fume hoods.
• Optical microscope and magnifying lenses.

• Metallographic analysis
• Crystallographic and phase analysis using EBSD
• Compositional analysis using EDS
• Compositional mapping and concentration profiling
• Surface morphology analysis
• Fractographic studies
• Support for R&D activities and failure analysis
