FOREVISION NANOTECH LAB

FOREVISION NANOTECH LAB

FOREVISION NANOTECHNOLOGY LAB, Hyderabad, India is established and inaugurated on 1st September 2008 to provide advanced solutions for diverse and complex Technical challenges in various fields of Research and Manufacturing.

For more than a decade, FOREVISION INSTRUEMENTS have provided to their esteemed customers highly efficient, dependable and easy-to-use microscopy solutions for their specific scientific needs by supplying SEM/FE-SEM & TEM and AFM/STM from world renowned manufacturers, with timely service support by their expertise professionals.

FOREVISION INSTRUEMENTS represents the state of the art equipments for Nanotechnology and other related field, manufactured by Hitachi High Technologies, Japan and Parks Systems, Korea.

Nanotechnology is attracting an increased attention in the world today. Research and Development on nanotechnology has accelerated as a national strategy of many countries, what is meant by "Nano"? "Nano" is a prefix that means billionth of a thing. One nanometer is one billionth of a meter (10–9 m). The word "Nano" does not refer to a specific field. Which means everything in the cosmos can be scaled down to nanometrics technology, and can be defined with engineering, research and development by creating materials, devices, and systems at nanometric scale.
“Nano-materials were always in nature, but no nanotechnology". "Now R&D has provided techniques to produce nano-materials like carbon nanotubes (CNT: carbon tubes 1 nm in diameter and several micrometers in length) and nanofullerene (spherical carbon approximately 1 nm in diameter) with a production yield of approximately 90%, but we have no techniques to cut and assemble these nanomaterials".

Nanotechnology is now regarded as the core scientific technology. Accurate observation of nanoareas is infant stage in understanding nano materials, just as "seeing is believing". Hitachi's TEM & SEM and Park Systems AFM/STM Instruments can help researchers to observe and analyze nanostructures of materials. These instruments are used for structural characterization, spectroscopy and materials research at the microscale and nanoscale.

We use a ruler to measure the size or length of visible substances. If the substance is too small for a ruler, we cannot measure it with our eyes or using an optical microscope. The TEM, SEM, and SPM are powerful tools for measuring such small substances, which falls under the category of "Nanometrology" means Metrology and analysis of materials at the nanoscale.

FOREVISION INSTRUEMENTS offer the following programs & services through their “Nano Lab” in Hyderabad, India:

* TRAINING:

Man power training ON CHARGEABLE BASIS to the scientific fraternity to know the technology & handle the state of the art equipments which are used in Nanotechnology applications.

The training covers the basic theory, technology behind the equipment, operation and usage of the same in nanotechnology applications.

* ANAYTICAL SERVICES:

Effective January 2009, Sample Analysis using SEM/EDS and AFM will be provided to those who do not have access to these highly sophisticated equipments and also to Engineering, Medical, Research institutions and Industries for their evaluation of quality control.

An effort will be made to get Accreditation of this Laboratory in due course of time.

This Nanotech Laboratory is currently equipped with
o Hitachi Table Top Microscope Model TM-1000
o Hitachi High Resolution SEM Model SU-1500
o EDS onto SU-1500 will be added by Nov-Dec 2008
o Park Systems AFM will also be added by Nov-Dec 2008
o The Laboratory is supported by the highly trained and experienced personal of great repute in the field.
