RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT
CERTINTEX possesses one of the few Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) for textile research in Peru and the surrounding region. The SEM has the remarkable capability of magnifying images up to a million times, which is a thousand times greater than what an optical microscope can achieve.
This extraordinary capacity enables investigations at the nanometer scale, providing comprehensive insights into fibers and various materials. It offers clear information on surface characteristics, morphology, and fiber composition, leading to precise and valuable results.
