Let it Snow!
Fun image from our files. This image was created by capturing snow and frost on a chilled aluminum block. The sample was then digitally imaged using the scanning electron microscope. Color was added to the black and white image using graphic editing software.
MD&M 2015
It was a fun couple of days in the Exhibit hall of MD&M. Thanks to all who stopped by to talk with us. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk about our laboratory and engineering services for those in the medical device industry. Almost everyone on staff had a chance to spend some time at the MEE booth and also […]
Variable Pressure SEM vs Field Emission SEM
Two types of modern scanning electron microscopes provide the range of sampling handling and resolution needed for evaluating most samples – the variable pressure SEM (VPSEM) and the high-resolution field emission SEM (FESEM). At MEE, we offer SEM services with both types of microscopes to meet almost every challenge. The VPSEM is a workhorse for routine work, but magnification is not […]
Failure analysis case studies
Stress corrosion cracking in a chemical storage tank, hydrogen damage in a boiler tube, fatigue fracture in titanium sternal plates are just a few of the case studies on our website. They were specifically chosen to highlight the variety of projects we see in our laboratory and more importantly, demonstrate the thorough, analytical approach we take on all of […]
MEE hosts Materials Science Camp
MEE, Inc is a long- time sponsor of the MN Chapter of ASM International Materials Science Camp for high school students. Thirty students got to spend a day in our laboratory learning about and using scanning electron microscopes, Rockwell hardness testers, microhardness testers and a variety of light microscopes. Three on our staff, Larry, Kurt and Neal, are also […]
Fire Investigations and Forensic Engineering
Larry Hanke had another opportunity this past month to talk about the role of metallurgical engineers in fire investigations at a full day seminar for fire investigators and insurance company representatives sponsored by Whitemore Fire Consultants. Attorneys and engineers presented talks on assembling teams and conducting origin and cause investigations. Larry’s talk focused on how an engineer with expertise […]
