Over the past decade, the adoption of Lock-In Thermography (LIT), ELITE, and Meridian systems (EMMI, OBIRCh, LVx) has grown significantly across European FA laboratories. This success is driven by your continuous involvement and technical expertise. To further encourage technical exchanges and sharing of best practices around these advanced Electrical Failure Analysis (EFA) techniques, Sector Technologies and ThermoFisher Scientific are pleased to invite you to a dedicated users meeting for the ELITE & Meridian community.

Building on the success of the previous eight European ELITE Users Meetings, we are delighted to announce the 9th European ELITE & Meridian Users Group Meeting, scheduled the day before the 2026 Fraunhofer CAM Workshop in Halle . This edition will be a perfect opportunity to exchange on both Meridian and ELITE applications and solutions.
