Lab Services
Our department offers the following lab services
- Confocal Microscopy Lab (CLSM). SINTEF has a Leica TCS 4D confocal laser scanning microscope (clsm). The microscope is located in Oslo. The department has several years of experince using clsm for examining e.g. paper, coated surfaces, and metals.
- Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Lab (LIBS). LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) is an atomic emission spectroscopy technique which allows quantitative analysis of all the chemical elements of the Mendeleev table present in a sample. SINTEF has used LIBS in several projects for applications ranging from identification of metals and plastics to dynamical studies of chemical reaction in powder and gaseous samples.
- X-ray Laboratory. SINTEF is manufacturing detectors for the detection of radiations and particles. The X-ray laboratory is primarily used for the characterization of our detectors in the energy range from some few keV to 200 keV. The laboratory is also used to experiment with industrial applications of X-ray and low energy gamma rays.
- Lighting Laboratory. The illuminating laboratory is equipped with a diversity of instruments for use in research projects and other scientific work. Based on these instruments we can offer a number of services relevant for the lighting industry and other research institutes.
