The purpose of this article is to present the design and capabilities of two in situ scanning electron microscope (SEM) indentation instruments covering a large load range from μN to N. The capabilities and advantages of in situ SEM indentation are illustrated by two applications: indentation of a thin film and a nanowire. All the experiments were performed on electrodeposited cobalt, whose outstanding magnetic properties make it a candidate material for MEMS and NEMS devices. Microsc. Res.
