iNano®





iNano®
The iNano® nanoindenter makes measuring thin films, coatings and small volumes of material easy. The accurate, flexible, user-friendly instrument can perform a wide range of nanoscale mechanical tests including indentation, hardness, scratch and universal nanoscale testing. The large dynamic range of force and displacement measurements allow materials from soft polymers to metals to be tested with accuracy and repeatability. Modular options can accommodate a variety of applications: material property maps, frequency-specific testing, scratch and wear testing and high-temperature testing. The iNano has a complete suite of options to expand testing, including sample heating, continuous stiffness measurement, NanoBlitz3D/4D property mapping and the remote video option.

Product Description
The iNano features the InForce 50 actuator for performing nanoindentation and universal nanomechanical tests. The 50mN force and 50µm displacement range of the InForce 50 allow the system to perform a wide range of tests. The InView software is a flexible, modern software package that makes nanoscale testing easy. The iNano is a compact platform with the high-speed InQuest controller and vibration isolation gantry built in to the enclosure. An extensive range of materials and devices can be tested, including metals, ceramics, composites, thin films, coatings, polymers, biomaterials and gels.
