Olympus Solutions for Academic Research
Academic researchers benefit from advanced nondestructive testing technologies, including XRF and XRD for material chemistry and mineralogy and microscopes for observing objects under high magnification.
Identifying the chemical makeup of pigments used to paint an Ancient Egyptian sarcophagus, authenticating historical art objects, obtaining the quantitative mineralogy of Martian soil, and measuring the mechanics of tiny wings on a robot are just some of the ways academic researchers employ nondestructive testing technology.
