The unique features of NanoScan allows to use the devices in applications where investigations can be carried out with traditional nanoindenters and SPMs and also in the areas inaccessible for such equipment.
Scanning nano-hardness testers of NanoScan series are used for surface mechanical properties investigations and quality control in the following applications:

• Nanophase and composite materials;
• Superdispersed hard alloys;
• New superhard materials;
• Nanoconstructional materials;




• Semiconductor technology;
• Automotive industry;
• Engineering applications;
• Medical applications;




• Diamond and diamond powders;
• Memory storage devices;
• Optical components;
• Micro- and nano- electromechanical systems
  (MEMS and NEMS);




• Thin films;
• Friction reducing coatings.

All the measurements are made in the open air without any special vacuum or thermal sample preparation.
