Hysitron Image Gallery


Consider this to be a space where you will find many interesting images relating to the nano & micro worlds…including images of your own!

We are extending an invitation to all our customers to submit some of your favorite or most intriguing images to share with the community. This is a place for ideas, trading, and a bit of fun. 

All submitters are encouraged to include a bit of information about what makes your image interesting along with relevant data or facts that you might want to add. We may ask to make edits to the image or text, but will only do so pending your approval. The submitter will retain all ownership of their image and data, and may request that their submission be removed at any time.

So take a look around, find some inspiration, and dip into that hard drive of yours for something that might spark a conversation with the rest of the community. Click here to send any submissions and we’ll see you in the gallery!

Nanoindentation Images

 

Nanoindentation | Hysitron

 
SPM image of amorphous diamond film after quasistatic indentation showing fracture events in the form of crack propagation from the corners of the indent tip. These areas are known to have high stress concentrations during indentation.
