We’re also expert at developing new methods of analysis to solve unique needs, such as fixing processes in manufacturing to avoid microscopic defects, and enhancing the performance of ceramic fuel cells for longer lifetime performance. And we’re advancing the leading edge of imaging analysis and machine learning to gather even more insights with each microcharacterization study.
