MT5000ER EBSD Tensile and Compression Stage

MICROTEST™ MT5000ER is a high load EBSD stage. With 5kN load cell capability, new material characteristics can be tested with accuracy, stability and repeatability.

Microtest™ MT5000ER EBSD Tensile and Compression Stage

MT5000ER Product Details

The identification of slip bands, strain marks, deformations, dislocations and crystalline defects are now possible within your SEM under varying test conditions, allowing characterisation of sample microstructure in real-time. Our room temperature EBSD stage, the MT5000EH, delivers – fully optimised for both Horizontal SEM Imaging and EBSD. Additionally, this stage is field-upgradable to the MT5000EH with 1000° C heating, ensuring a future-proof investment!

With force resolution less than 0.003% FS, the 5kN EBSD stage from Deben offers dual motor control, user exchangeable loadcells and jaws, and options for bending jaws and compression cage.

The newly developed ‘Deben Test Suite’ software also allows full control of your stage and data, and is designed with ease-of-use in mind no matter what EBSD detector or SEM you use.

Deben’s in-house design and manufacturing teams also allow bespoke and custom clamps and jaws, to suit your sample needs.
