Eurofins EAG Laboratories' Latest Thermal Imaging Capabilities

Eurofins EAG Laboratories has enhanced its thermal imaging capabilities by adding Microsanj equipment that utilizes the principles of thermoreflectance and material index of refraction to provide unmatched spatial and temporal resolution.

The development and adoption of Thermoreflectance (TR) Thermal Imaging was pioneered by Microsanj to address the evolving technologies that utilize new materials with shrinking geometries. These devices have increased construction complexity and high-power densities that require peak electro-thermal performance and reliability.  Industries supported include semiconductors, power electronics, AI, automotive, 5G/6G telecom, photonics, aerospace/military, medical devices, robotics, and cloud computing.
