3D Dilatometer

This setup consists of 3 high resolution (~25nm) eddy current sensors assembled in orthorhombic directions, which are sealed in a glass chamber. This setup aims to measure the sorption/desorption induced swelling/shrinkage of the tiny cubic solid (<15mm) exposed to the low pressure gas (e.g. water vapour) environments.
