In the Surface Analytics Lab, we characterise surfaces in terms of topography, roughness, friction behaviour, surface energy or layer thickness.
Our Offer
Would you like to better understand the surface of your product?
We offer you the opportunity to do so with imaging and spectroscopic methods. Be it friction or wear, contact angle or layer thickness, structures or roughness: we characterize surfaces for you.
