TMS 2026

TMS 2026 – Correlative Mechanical Microscopy for Diverse Materials​

At Oxford Instruments, we are dedicated to equipping scientists with tools that genuinely accelerate discovery. We design our solutions to optimize every moment researchers spend developing stronger, lighter, and more sustainable structural materials. ​

Visit Oxford Instruments at TMS 2026 to explore our latest solutions for nanoindentation and electron microscopy. This year, we're showcasing tools designed to accelerate materials characterization across metals, additive manufacturing, geology, semiconductors, and more. ​

What You’ll Experience at TMS 2026​

Talk with specialists about our nanoindentation tools​

Connect with our application specialists to discuss our nanoindentation platforms, explore measurement capabilities, and learn how our tools support mechanical property analysis across a wide range of materials.​

In-booth virtual demonstrations of our EBSD and BEX detectors​

Join our experts for immersive, in-booth virtual demos streamed directly from our microscope at our Pleasanton, California demo lab. These interactive sessions will walk you through real EBSD and BEX workflows using a wide range of representative samples:​

• How our EBSD solutions easily acquire and analyze metal and geology samples​
• Show the breadth of capabilities with BEX detector maximizing flexibility and speed with examples list fast full sample analysis, phase indication and particle analysis​
• Discover how to take your deformation samples from acquisition to results in minutes using EBSD strain analysis workflows
