Over the past decade, the adoption of Lock-In Thermography (LIT), Meridian S and Meridian IV (EMMI/OBIRCh/LVx) within European laboratories has seen significant growth, a testament to your involvement and commitment. To enhance the collaborative exchange of insights regarding these invaluable Failure Analysis techniques, Sector Technologies and ThermoFisher Scientific aim to organize a technical meeting for the ELITE & Meridian user community.
Building on the success of the previous 7 European ELITE Users Meetings, we are delighted to announce the 8th session, scheduled for the day before the 2025 Fraunhofer CAM workshop event in Halle.
This year, we are expanding this technical meeting to Meridian systems which includes EMMI, OBIRCh and LVx Failure Isolation techniques. This will be the opportunity to highlight the complementarity between these 2 systems, within modern EFA workflow.
