IMR Test Labs - Lansing Acquires KEYENCE VHX-5000 Microscope

LANSING, N.Y. - March 18, 2016 - PRLog -- IMR Test Labs now offers metallurgical services using a KEYENCE VHX-5000 microscope at our Lansing, NY location. The VHX-5000 allows IMR to provide enhanced, 3D, free-angle imaging at magnifications previously not available, providing you with more accurate measurements and photomicrographs of your test samples.

The advanced functions of the VHX-5000 increase the efficiency of basic analytical operations like observation, image capturing, and unit measuring, which permit faster turnaround times on many metallurgical tests. The VHX-5000 is non-destructive, so after testing is complete, valuable materials can be returned to you. Additionally the VHX-5000 is portable, allowing IMR to test your oversize samples and to test your samples offsite.

The microscope is utilized by IMR in numerous metallurgical analyses such as:

• Microstructure
• Grain Flow
• Grain Size
• Pitting Depth/ Laser Marking Depth Measurements
• Debris/ Particle Size
• Inclusion Rating
• Surface roughness characterization (3D imaging)
• More accurate Dimensional Analysis
• Medical Device Implant Coatings Analysis
• Characterization of Solder Joints
