Description

Materials composition and structural analysis in less than a second with the Leica DM6 M LIBS Materials Analysis Microscope.

Offering rapid materials composition and structural analysis via laser technology, Leica DM6 M LIBS Materials Analysis Microscopes saves time and money, and facilitates faster decision making.

The Leica DM6 M LIBS Materials Analysis Microscope is designed to evaluate microstructure composition efficiently and accurately. Both the structural and elemental/chemical composition of materials phases can be analysed e.g. minerals, alloys, ceramics, etc.

  • Carry out depth profiling, layer analysis and surface cleaning of materials
  • Cleanliness analysis of components (when combined with Leica’s Cleanliness Expert analysis software)
  • Establish the chemical composition of a microstructure within a second
  • Visual and chemical material analysis in one click of a button
  • No SEM sample preparation required
  • Multiple contrast techniques in true daylight colour
  • Large objective magnification range of 1.25x to 100x
  • Retrofit the LIBS system to an existing DM6 M or DM6000 M microscope

Establish the chemical composition of a microstructure within a second

  • The DM6 M LIBS microscope’s integrated laser spectroscopy function provides the chemical composition of a microstructure in less than a second.
  • This method is 90% faster than typical methods involving electron microscopy (proof available upon request).
  • Visual and chemical analysis in just one click.
  • Analyse both the structural and elemental/chemical composition of material phases e.g. alloys, minerals, ceramics, etc.
  • Make fast and confident decisions based on the results.

 

Your own chemical laboratory in one system

Using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), via a single click a laser will strike the target region and the LIBS software will identify the microstructure composition.

 

Carry out depth profiling, layer analysis and surface cleaning of materials

Microdrill into materials to:

  • Determine if a material’s composition changes with depth.
  • Find the composition of each layer in a material e.g. multi-coated or painted metals.
  • Remove oxides and contamination with surface cleaning.

 

Save time and money

No SEM sample preparation required. Reduce your workflow to just one step , saving 90% of of your current analysis time and focus on results, thanks to:

  • no sample preparation or transfer needed
  • no system adjustment
  • no relocating the area of interest

 

Easy visualisation of a material’s microstructure in true colours

The Leica DM6 M LIBS microscope offers a large selection of contrast techniques using LED illumination that remains a true, daylight colour throughout.

 

Cleanliness analysis of components

  • Carry out a visual and chemical inspection of filter samples on one instrument by combining the DM6 M LIBS and Leica’s Cleanliness Expert analysis software.
  • Obtain data on particle composition and structure.
  • Make fast, confident decisions.
