X-Ray
Diffraction (XRD) |
| PE has laboratory
facilities with Xray Diffraction (XRD) instrumentation. PE uses XRD
to identify crystalline materials for materials characterization.
|
|
| SEM/EDX
|
| PE
has laboratory facilities with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM),
including Energy Dispersive Xray (EDX) analytical capabilities. The
SEM is used for high magnification, high resolution microscopy. The
EDX is utilized to identify atomic elements and relative concentrations
of elements in material samples. |
|
| FTIR
|
| PE has laboratory facilities with Fourier Transform
Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR is used to identify the chemical
bonds in unknown compounds, especially for liquids and plastics. |
|
| Chromatography |
| PE has laboratory facilities with chromatography
instruments for materials characterization. |
|
| Spectroscopy
|
| PE has laboratory
facilities with spectroscopy instruments for materials characterization.
|
|
| Optical
Microscopy |
| PE
has laboratory facilities with optical microscopy instruments, including
polarized light sources. The microscopes are equipped with digital
and photographic cameras for documentation of the observed structures.
