iMicro Nanoindenter
Flexible, user-friendly nanoindenter for modulus, hardness (Oliver-Pharr analysis, ISO 14577), storage and loss modulus, and universal testing. The iMicro nanoindentation instrument is capable of exerting up to 1N of force to test hard materials at higher loads and larger depths. The nanoindentation instrument is fitted with optional actuators for testing of soft materials, tribology, lateral force and other measurements requiring the determination of force and displacement along two axes.
Nano Indenter® G200 Nanoindenter
Fully extendible, production-proven nanoindenter with automated high-throughput hardness measurement capability. With the largest force range in the KLA nanoindenter product family, the Nano Indenter G200 can be used to measure Young’s modulus, hardness, fracture toughness, wear/scratch resistance, coefficient of friction, high-temperature creep response and viscoelastic properties of many types of materials.
Nano Indenter® G200X Nanoindenter
Industry-leading nanoindenter with a flexible, user-friendly interface for nanoscale mechanical testing. The Nano Indenter G200X uses high-speed controller electronics, an upgraded user interface and advanced InView software to enable a variety of optional advanced application modules: frequency-specific testing, quantitative scratch and wear testing, integrated probe-based imaging, high-temperature testing and custom test protocols.
iNano® Nanoindenter
Flexible, user-friendly, low-force nanoindenter that can perform a wide range of nanomechanical tests on metals, ceramics, composites, thin films, coatings, polymers, biomaterials and gels. The accurate nanoindentation instrument is capable of exerting up to 50mN force to test thin films and soft materials.

Timeline of Nanoindentation Innovation
The field of nanoindentation was co-founded by KLA’s Dr. Warren Oliver over 40 years ago, and KLA Instruments has continued to foster a culture of innovation. From releasing the first nanoindenter in the market to expanding nanoindentation technology into fast, high-temperature and high strain rate testing, we have continued to develop new static and dynamic measurement types, driving forward the next generation of nanomechanical testing of material hardness.
