microMECHA develops precision micromachines for studying material behavior under thermo‑mechanical load. These devices enable in situ testing—allowing real-time observation of material responses within a scanning electron microscope (SEM), optical microscope, diffraction goniometer (for residual stresses, phases, texture), synchrotron setups, or scanning probe microscopes.

By integrating techniques such as EBSD (Electron Backscatter Diffraction), EDS (Energy‑Dispersive Spectroscopy), Raman spectroscopy, and Kossel microdiffraction, microMECHA systems allow comprehensive, multi‑scale analysis of chemical composition, phases, crystallographic orientation, deformation, and stress—without relying solely on post‑mortem investigations.
