Head of laboratory: Ing. Zuzana Florková, PhD.
Room: VC 1.17
The laboratory is aimed at evaluation of surface and microstructural characteristics of structural materials.
For the surface characteristics evaluation, the laboratory is equipped with a basic stereomicroscope Leica S9i and advanced stereomicroscope Leica M205 s plnou motorizáciou umožňujúcou panoramatické snímanie povrchov a taktiež motorizovanou vertikálnou osou pre fotografovanie s rozšírenou hĺbkou ostrosti.
For surface texture analysis, the laboratory is equipped with a laser confocal microscope Zeiss LSM 700.
Microstructure evaluation of metallic materials is provided by optical metallography microscope Leica DMi8 with full motorization for panorama and extended depth of field stitching. Microscope is equipped with dark field and modules for polarized light, as well.
For chemical composition analysis and structural identification of polymers, organic substances, metal oxides, and minerals, the laboratory is equipped with a Thermo Scientific DXR 3xi Raman Microscope. The device helps to determine the types of chemical bonds, crystalline structure, defects and flaws in the material, and the presence of functional groups, and is useful in studying metal oxidation, thin film degradation, etc.
The laboratory is also equipped with roughness tester MarSurf PS10 and with a device for surface wettability evaluation SITA SurfaSpector.
