Electronic Devices and Materials, EDML (University of West Attica, UniWA) and the Laboratory for Testing and Materials (National Technical University of Athens, NTUA) would like to acknowledge DANTEC DYNAMICS and LIMESS Messtechnik & Software GmbH for their continuous support and contribution on the upgrade and configuration of the DIC system which is a key experimental infrastructure for the purposes of non-destructive testing. In our labs, DIC is used in combination with the Pressure Stimulated Currents, developed in EDML, and the Acoustic Emissions techniques. 
We are also including here indicative published scientific works that were implemented using the DIC infrastructure:
