Applications

Printed Electronics Application

A visual inspection of printed electronics is not sufficient to ensure their functionality. The EddyCus® map RMT for mixed solutions can assess the integrity of printed electronics and detect inconsistencies—even when, as shown in the two images below, no defects are visible to the naked eye after optical inspection.
