- EDS: in semi-quantitative, line scan and mapping modes
- Sputter Coating: for SEM examination of non-conductive samples
Cross-sectioning
- Focused Ion Beam (FIB) and Cross Section Polisher (Broad Beam Ion Milling): for sample preparation
- Vickers Microhardness: for microhardness testing of metals
- Rockwell Hardness (HRBW, HRC): for macrohardness testing of metals
- Durometer (Scale A and D): for hardness testing of polymers and rubbers
- Optical Emission Spectrometry (Arc-Met): chemical analysis of metals
- X-ray Fluorescence (XRF): non-destructive chemical analysis of metals and non-metals
- X-ray Diffraction (XRD): identification of crystalline compounds in metals
- Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA): determines the changes in decomposition mass as a function of temperature that is unique to the polymer
- Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC): determines the thermal transitions during phase transition as a function of temperature that is unique to the polymer
- Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA): measure coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) as a function of temperature
- Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis (FTIR): identification of organic materials or polymers
- Raman Spectroscopy: complementary to FTIR, identification of chemical structure of compounds
- Universal Testing Machine: tensile and compression testing of materials
