2025 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit - Oxford Instruments

Oxford Instruments will be showcasing our cutting-edge technologies. This includes our next-generation Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), confocal Raman microscopy, electron microscopy detectors, and nanoindentation technology. We are proud to unveil exciting developments that are currently in the pipeline and offer live demonstrations of our latest innovations. Visit our booth to experience firsthand the advancements we are making in these fields.

iX05 Operando Nanoindenter
The iX05 is a high-performance operando nanoindenter engineered to measure local mechanical properties under real-world conditions—including high/low temperatures, high strain rates, and liquid environments. Unlike traditional systems limited to lab settings, the iX05 enables testing in environments that reflect actual material applications. Powered by FemtoTools’ MEMS-based technology and fast control electronics, it delivers unmatched resolution, speed, and environmental control for advanced materials research.
