Chardon Tool pushes beyond the limits of visible light optics by using our ultra-modern Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
We use our SEM to detect defects and chipping on the cutting edges of tools at magnifications beyond what's possible with an optical microscope.
We can inspect diamond tool cutting edges at 2000x, 3000x, and even 5000x magnification!
This SEM system allows us to find defects on cutting edges at the nanometer scale.
