We offer measurements and analyses of the smallest structures, layers and components on a micro- and nanometer scale. Our methods include AFM, SEM (top or cross section view), XPS/UPS, SEM+EDX, confocal laser scanning microscopy, ellipsometry, UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy or (X-ray) fluorescence analysis. Our methods are also suitable for flexible and soft materials like polymers, composites or layered systems (e.g. additively manufactured).
