Surface Analysis

Spatially resolved surface analysis in the micro and nanometer range

Using our unique combination of the most sensitive surface methods, we provide you with analytical services for your product, development, and research questions. Our experienced analysts consistently deliver quick responses in an understandable format. Take advantage of our services and see that we don’t just give measurements – we assist you in finding solutions to your issues.

Problems to Solve

Development or quality management – the focus is always on product features. These vary due to different raw materials and process parameters in the production. Early product damage results in use-related traces that are often accelerated by environmental factors and high costs.
