Figure3- 4Crystalbond hot melt
Crystalbond softens at 71 °C and flows at 135 °C. Viscosity is 6000 cps
at the flow point. Crystalbond is soluble in acetone.
Crystalbond is very rigid, and its thermoplastic properties allow for the
removal of adhered specimens. Alcohol will not rapidly dissolve
crystalbond and can therefore be used to clean mounted specimens.
Acetone will quickly dissolve Crystalbond and can therefore be used to
remove specimens without the application of heat. For more information
about applying Crystalbond, consult
"Prepare a Sample for Testing" on
page 32.
To order Crystalbond, contact your Agilent service representative.
CSM Controller
The Continuous Stiffness Measurement (CSM) option enables a
continuous measure of S during loading, and not just at the point of
initial unload. This is accomplished by superimposing a small
oscillation on the primary loading signal and analyzing the resulting
response of the system by means of a frequency-specific amplifier.
The CSM option is available for both the Nano Indenter G200 and Nano
Indenter DCM instruments. The theory for CSM is discussed further in
Appendix A, "Continuous Stiffness Measurement".
The CSM Controller is shown in Figure 3- 5. The CSM controller is
powered up via the main power switch for the G200.
