Field Emission Variable Vacuum Scanning Electron Microscope with EDS
JEOL JSM-7100FLV field emission, variable vacuum, analytical scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM/EDS) (2012).
JSM-7100FLV SEM/Noran System 7 EDS installed in December 2012.
This instrument is equipped with a sample chamber-level secondary electron detector and both HV and LV backscatter detectors. It is equipped with a Schottkey thermal field emission gun and offers resolution of approximately 2-3 nm at 30 kV.
Energy Dispersive Spectrometer
The SEM is equipped with a Thermo/ Noran System 7 Energy Dispersive Spectrometer with a LN-free digital detector. This system enables quantitative spectrum analysis with and without standards, spectral imaging, x-ray mapping, x-ray line scans, point and shoot sampling, and digital image acquisition.
