Key facilities and resources: MiMeCA (Microscopy, Field Measurement and Analytics)

MiMeCA is a test center at the l’X Solid Mechanics Laboratory whose mission is to conduct micromechanical experiments, for example on metals or rocks. The facility uses microscopes with chambers that can process samples with sizes ranging from about 10 nanometers to 3 centimeters. The main purpose of this test platform is to carry out environmental tests by modifying the temperature and humidity of the materials tested.
