Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
Scanning electron microscopy;
• ThermoFisher (USA) Quattro S Felid Emission Gun, Environmental SEM “FEG ESEM”, equipped with the following detectors;
1- ETD: Everhart–Thornley Secondary Electron Detector (SED)
2- LVD: Low Vacuum Secondary Electron Detector (20 - 200 Pa)
3- GSED: Gausses Secondary Electron Detector (200 - 2000 Pa)
4- BSD: Back Scattered Detector (multiple array detector)
5- STEM: Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (multiple mode detector; Bright Field, Dark Field, HADF, custom) “up to 6- samples per run. Flat or tilted”
6- ESTEM: Environmental Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (multiple modes of operation, with Temperature control down to -20oC, and humidity control from 0% to 100%)
7- EDX: Energy Dispersive X-Ray (Elemental Analysis & Elemental Mapping)
• We can Image Solid, powder, Liquid (Suspended Nanomaterials in STEM mode only), and Thin-films (top-view, cross-section, or tilted).
• For any further details regarding sample quantities, size, volume, and limitations kindly referee to our application form or contact us via our email (Ntrc-info@bue.edu.eg).
