The MIC 10 uses the UCI (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance) method for efficient and accurate measurements by electronically measuring the Vickers diamond indent and then displaying the hardness value instantly. This portable hardness tester can test hard to reach places and can measure in any direction, making it a flexible solution for operators.

Measurements can be viewed as either a single value or an average value and it is easy to edit erroneous values. The default calibration parameter is fro low and non-alloyed steel but the unit can also be recalibrated to other mateirals.
