Imaging techniques

Imaging techniques enable the examination of surfaces and internal structures of technical components. Both non-destructive methods and techniques involving targeted sample preparation, such as cross-sectioning, are employed. Depending on the method, surfaces are examined microscopically, microstructures are analysed in detail, or 3D-models of the internal and external component structures are created. This allows for both qualitative assessments and geometric and structural analyses.

We offer, among others, the following techniques in our non-accredited laboratory:
- Light microscopy for surface and microstructure analysis
- Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for high-resolution analysis of surface structures and particles
- Elemental analysis using EDX to determine the chemical composition on the surface
- Optical 3D measurement for target/actual comparisons and CAD alignment
- Computed tomography (CT) for non-destructive analysis of internal structures and component volume
