Additional Equipment

Salt Spray Chamber

Carries out accelerated testing of materials and coatings by cycling betrwwn hot salt water and dry.  This is typically used to test painted metals, but can be used for other things.

Electron Microscope

The small sister of the Life Science Microscope this is a JEOL standard machine that is quite easy to use and was chosen to have a low running cost (low is relative here).  The principal is that less challenging measurements from an SEM standpoint should be carried out here.  The large advantage of this system is that it is fitted with a modern EDX from AMetec that is capable of detecting Boron.  EDX allows elemental analysis and elemental mapping.
