Materials Research Laboratory
Equipments
The Service Laboratory of the Materials Science & Engineering Center (Materials-Lab) is equipped with advanced and diversified research infrastructure, enabling comprehensive materials analysis.
We provide state-of-the-art electron microscopes (SEM, TEM) equipped with additional detectors (EDS, EBSD, EELS, CL, RS), which significantly expand analytical and imaging capabilities. Exceptional functionality is ensured by specialized QEMSCAN® software, enabling detailed mineralogical analysis of materials.
In addition, the laboratory is equipped with high-class diffractometers, spectrometers, thermal analysis systems, precision laser micromachining systems, aging and corrosion test chambers, as well as additional instruments for measuring physicochemical properties.
The use of diverse research techniques allows us to perform a broad range of analyses tailored to the individual needs of clients from various industries.
