Abrio IM
Abrio IM provides a new and powerful tool to detect stress and strain in samples. Abrio IM measures low-level birefringence in samples with retardances of 0.02nm to 273nm, such as in glass, plastics, optical fibers, and discs. The system can be provided as either an add-on to an existing microscope, or as a stand-alone macroscopic setup for larger samples (imaging field is 30x40mm).
The Abrio IM imaging systems combine a unique liquid crystal-based orientation-independent polarizing light technology, controlling electronics, patented imaging algorithms and easy-to-use software to measure and analyze low-level birefringence in samples. The Abrio IM imaging systems measures retardance and slow-axis orientation per pixel in a megapixel image in under a few seconds compared to results which typically take days to achieve using other methods.
