In combination,\n this instrument enables measurements of both hard and soft materials under realistic\n atmospheric and mechanical conditions.
Specifically, the following parts of the\n instrument are unique to this product:
Scanning electron microscope equipped with\n environmental capabilities in combination with a field emission gun. The Thermo Fisher\n Quattro S system is a state-of-the-art environmental scanning electron microscope\n (ESEM), which combines the ability to achieve high vacuum (<6⋅10-4 Pa) with the ability\n to reach unprecedentedly high water vapor pressures up to 4000 Pa within the same\n ESEM chamber. Such high-water vapor is a unique feature of the Thermo Fisher Quattro\n system and will allow the measurements of biologically relevant samples without risk\n of drying them out. Furthermore, the Quattro system is the only scanning electron\n miscroscope system on the market which combine a high-water vapour pressures (≥1000\n Pa H2O) with a field emission gun, thereby achieving unprecedented high resolution\n (down to 1.3 nm resolution under ESEM conditions) together with environmental capabilities\n in a single instrument. Ultra-low-load and very high strain rate nanoindentation.\n As a part of the Thermo Fisher Quattro S system, two pieces of nanoindentation equipment\n will be supplied to the ESEM solution. Both are directly capable of being installed\n within the acquired ESEM solution. These pieces are a Femtotools FT-NMT04 nanoindenter\n (FT) and an Alemnis Standard Assembly (ASA), respectively, each representing unique\n parts of the total instrument, consisting of the ESEM together with the nanoindentation\n capabilities.
In detail, the FT device has displacement control in a unique force\n range from 0.5⋅10-9 to 2 N load allowed by the unique microelectromechanical systems\n (MEMS) indentation chip. This allows the exploration of both hard (e.g. inorganic\n glasses) as well as soft materials with displacement noise floors of <50 ⋅10-12 m\n in the entire load range. Further, the FT device’s load cell has a unique high mechanical\n stiffness with an internal resonance greatly exceeding 1000 Hz, thereby eliminating\n interference problems when performing dynamical loading procedures (oscillating forces\n superimposed onto a linear loading procedure).
The combined setup will also feature\n an Alemnis Standard Assembly (ASA) system equipped with a large force range with capabilities\n of reaching loads up to 4 N. Furthermore, the ASA setup exceeds the maximum strain-rate\n capabilities of any other vendor on the market, enabling tests from quasistatic conditions\n (<0.001 s⁻¹) up to 1,000 s⁻¹, and dynamic frequency up to 1000 Hz. This allows mimicking\n real-world impact which is critical e.g. in our inorganic glass research. Further,\n the ASA setup has a wide range of capabilities of operating both in the vacuum and\n high-water vapour pressure in the ESEM, in ambient environments with equipped microscopy\n features, as well as in various beamline setups, including nanodiffraction and tomography,\n with vendor-equipped additions and the support for tips from external manufacturers\n as the tip is separated from the load cell.

In combination, this instrument enables measurements of both hard and soft materials under realistic atmospheric and mechanical conditions. \nSpecifically, the following parts of the instrument are unique to this product:\nScanning electron microscope equipped with environmental capabilities in combination with a field emission gun. The Thermo Fisher Quattro S system is a state-of-the-art environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), which combines the ability to achieve high vacuum (<6⋅10-4 Pa) with the ability to reach unprecedentedly high water vapor pressures up to 4000 Pa within the same ESEM chamber. Such high-water vapor is a unique feature of the Thermo Fisher Quattro system and will allow the measurements of biologically relevant samples without risk of drying them out. Furthermore, the Quattro system is the only scanning electron miscroscope system on the market which combine a high-water vapour pressures (≥1000 Pa H2O) with a field emission gun, thereby achieving unprecedented high resolution (down to 1.3 nm resolution under ESEM conditions) together with environmental capabilities in a single instrument. Ultra-low-load and very high strain rate nanoindentation. As a part of the Thermo Fisher Quattro S system, two pieces of nanoindentation equipment will be supplied to the ESEM solution. Both are directly capable of being installed within the acquired ESEM solution. These pieces are a Femtotools FT-NMT04 nanoindenter (FT) and an Alemnis Standard Assembly (ASA), respectively, each representing unique parts of the total instrument, consisting of the ESEM together with the nanoindentation capabilities. \nIn detail, the FT device has displacement control in a unique force range from 0.5⋅10-9 to 2 N load allowed by the unique microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) indentation chip. This allows the exploration of both hard (e.g. inorganic glasses) as well as soft materials with displacement noise floors of <50 ⋅10-12 m in the entire load range. Further, the FT device’s load cell has a unique high mechanical stiffness with an internal resonance greatly exceeding 1000 Hz, thereby eliminating interference problems when performing dynamical loading procedures (oscillating forces superimposed onto a linear loading procedure).\nThe combined setup will also feature an Alemnis Standard Assembly (ASA) system equipped with a large force range with capabilities of reaching loads up to 4 N. Furthermore, the ASA setup exceeds the maximum strain-rate capabilities of any other vendor on the market, enabling tests from quasistatic conditions (<0.001 s⁻¹) up to 1,000 s⁻¹, and dynamic frequency up to 1000 Hz. This allows mimicking real-world impact which is critical e.g. in our inorganic glass research.
