Scanning Electron Microscopy (located in EER 0.752)
FEI Quanta 650 ESEM
FEI Quanta 650 SEM features three imaging modes- high vacuum, low vacuum and environmental SEM (ESEM), which enables charge-free imaging and microanalysis of non-conductive specimens without preparation. Chemical analysis is available thanks to the equipped Bruker EDX system. It is also equipped with Quorum Cyro-stage to image the specimen in its “natural” hydrated state.
SEM: Hitachi S5500 SEM/STEM
Hitachi S-5500 SEM provides sub-nanometer resolution and is also capable of imaging in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) mode. The bright field (BF) and dark field (DF) Duo-STEM detector allows simultaneous observation of BF and DF STEM images. The equipped energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) can probe the chemical composition of materials at nanometer scale.
