    The ARES-RFS rheometer is configured either with the Peltier or Recirculating Bath temperature control option. Both environmental control systems can be easily exchanged if necessary. Due to the fact that the torque measurement is carried out separately, the ARES-RFS is capable of providing inertia-free dynamic measurements of low viscosity, structured fluids over a wide frequency range, independent of the material’s viscosity.

On the basis of that, various types of signal are produced and are generated from the sample and used to examine many of its characteristics.

    Features

    • High resolution (~100 Å). The image resolution obtained by a scanning electron microscope is much higher than that which can be obtained using an optical microscope, because electrons (with a much lower wave length) are used instead of light to transform the image.
