Complying with all applicable EN/ISO and ASTM standards, the innovative Nexus 7000 provides the user with excellent gauge repeatability and reproducibility, precise test force and highly accurate hardness measurement. Standard accessories comprise, a 140x objective, a robust testing table and a calibration certificate.
