Light Microscopy

Light microscopy is used to make small structures and samples visible by providing a magnified image of how they interact with visible light.

Title should be added

Deben tensile and compression stages are specifically designed to compliment a variety of in-situ imaging techniques and provide insight into physical changes to a structure.

In addition, utilising in-situ tensile testing with optional heating and cooling allows new insights into material properties.

One Application Scientist describes our tensile stage: “The tensile stage from Deben is a robust device which is as easy to use as the desktop SEM. It can be loaded into the SEM just like any other sample holder. There is no need to install or prepare any parts inside the SEM which really shortens the time to image.”

The tensile stage can be used outside the SEM under an optical microscope and inside the SEM when a higher magnification and better depth of focus is required. This bridges the gap between the light and electron microscopy worlds and allows for correlative microscopy techniques.
