  • Semi-automatic and fully automatic cut-off machine
  • Fully automatic grinding and polishing machines
  • Balzer SCD O40 vaporizing machine

Microscopy

  • Macro microscope Olympus SZX 9
  • Leica CTR-6000 reflected light microscope
  • Scanning electron microscope CamScan "Series 4"

Testing and measuring instruments
