  Laura RobinsonAug 12, 2025
  If the surfaces are being damaged when using Struers Laboratory Equipment, it could be due to several reasons. The specimen may have burrs or sharp edges that need to be removed. Alternatively, the force applied to the specimen might be too high, or the specimen area might be too small. Try removing burrs and sharp edges, and lower the applied force to resolve this issue.
