How can you carry out non-destructive testing using a microscope?

We’ll show you how non-destructive materials testing works using our confocal video microscope. We’ve prepared various technical components, biological specimens and specialised samples from our research areas for you. Together with our materials testing specialists, you’ll examine the different samples and learn what to look out for when using the microscope. We’re excited to see what secrets you can uncover at the right magnification.

As well as microscopy, you can learn about other methods of materials testing at the LNDW at ifw Jena:

• What’s inside my surprise egg?
• How much can a basketball withstand?
• How can X-ray vision help me with my craft projects?
