The TS 600 Tensile Stage is a completely new, advanced sample stage for in-situ X-ray investigation of stress/strain behavior in foils and thin films. The stage can be used in transmission and reflection mode on synchrotrons and commercial diffractometers alike. At ESI, we also use it with our CLSM for in-situ straining and imaging of the surface with custom grips that record electrical resistance while straining.
