In-situ bending and tensile tests along with simultaneous observation of the microstructure under a scanning electron microscope SEM.

Bending and tensile tests of specimens ranging in size from a few millimeters to a few centimeters (the exact geometry of the specimen depends on the type of material and the purpose of the test) using a Kammrath-Weiss instrument under a Zeiss Crossbeam 350 scanning electron microscope.
