Whether it is metal matrices such as aluminum, magnesium, and titanium alloys, or non-metallic matrices such as resins, ceramics, carbon, and even various types of reinforcing fibers, behind the rapid development of life sciences and high-end manufacturing, it is the ultimate inquiry into macro performance and microstructure.

Scanning electron microscopy helps you solve imaging problems, but real research and failure analysis problems often need to see its composition, physical properties, and how it changes under what conditions. XBOUND brings you multiple, multi-dimensional solutions such as Delmic cathodoluminescent CL, NenoVision AFM-in-SEM electron microscope atomic force microscope, Waviks in-situ photothermal and spectroscopic analysis system, and Technoorg Linda argon ion sample series.
