To fulfill our clients' requests to conduct root cause metallurgical failure investigations, BEAR has expanded assessment capabilities with the construction of a full metallurgy laboratory. Our newest update is a digital Microscope that can be taken onto location. The microscope has two polarizers in it, so the glare that is often a problem is completely eliminated and very sharp images can be achieved.
Our Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) capability complements digital microscopy by allowing resolutions of up to 50,000x.
