This marked the birth of the Scientific Instrumentation department, with electron microscopy at its core. Since then, our portfolio has grown steadily to cover imaging, elemental analysis and materials characterisation:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>Electron microscopy<\/strong> (SEM, TEM, Hitachi TM4000 Plus III tabletop SEM, semiconductor inspection)<\/li>\n<li><strong>3D optical profilometry<\/strong> with Sensofar and the new Sneox 6<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-destructive acoustic microscopy<\/strong> with Hitachi Power Solutions<\/li>\n<li><strong>Benchtop X-ray microtomography<\/strong> with NeoScan<\/li>\n<li><strong>Surface analysis<\/strong> with PHI and, most recently, <strong>X-ray wafer inspection<\/strong> with Techno Horizon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Our independence lets us pick the most complementary technologies based on quality, performance and reliability. That way, we build a complete solution with each laboratory, without being restricted to a single manufacturer\u2019s range.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And our role doesn\u2019t end at the sale. Our teams support each instrument throughout its entire lifecycle: consulting, installation, acceptance testing, training, and preventive and corrective maintenance. They rely on regional bases in Grenoble, Marseille, Lyon and Toulouse. Our newly expanded showroom also lets you test equipment with your own samples, and our user workshops, such as the one held at the University of Bordeaux in October, give peers a chance to share their experience.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Want to find out more?
