The state-of-the-art Transmission Electron Microscopes examine the atomic structure of hard materials and soft-biological materials. The facility includes a cryo-TEM and three units for imaging and elemental composition determination.

Equipment

Keyence VHX-5000
Digital Microscope (Optical)		 Zeiss EVO 60
Scanning Electron Microscope		 Zeiss Ultra Plus FESEM
Scanning Electron Microscope

The Keyence digital optical microscope system integrates advanced imaging, measurement (in the micrometer range), and recording functions. The range of magnification 20X - 1000X with 3-D imaging capabilities for determination of surface relief and defects. The captured images can be stored either as a PNG or a TIFF file. 



Location: McArthur Engineering Building, Room 141

The Zeiss EVO 60 is an environmental scanning electron microscope (EP-SEM) capable of operating in standard high vacuum (HV) operating mode and in extended pressure mode (EP).






Location: McArthur Engineering Building, Room 141

The Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscope is designed to capture high-resolution images down to nanoscale ranges. The Zeiss Ultra Plus combines the Gemini FE-SEM column with several detectors: the In-lens & Secondary electron (SE) Detector for high resolution images, the in-lens Energy selective Backscatter Detector (BSE) & Annular Backscatter Detector (AsB) for material contrast of many samples, and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) for elemental analysis.
