Materials & Device Testing
Our open-access materials and device testing facility help you characterize novel materials and new devices in high resolution.
4D LABS is home to world-class imaging tools including scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) to enable you to complete in-depth investigations of material properties, including crystallinity, defects and microstructure.
Our analytical capabilities are complemented by Focused Ion Beam systems for fabricating small devices and sample preparation.
