JEOL 6500 Field Emission Gun
Location: 74 Shepherd Labs
Description:
Field-emission gun Scanning electron microscope (FEG-SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). It operates at 0.5 to 30 kV with an ultimate resolution of 1.5 nm, and a magnification range of 10x to 400,000x. Available image modes include secondary and backscattered electron images, X-Ray mapping, electron backscatter diffraction and cathodoluminescence.
Applications:
- Examination of fracture surfaces.
- Phase identification from geological samples.
- Examination and quantification of nano-scratch tests.
- Stereo-imaging of surfaces.
- Microstructure of surfactant systems.
- Evaluation of lithographic specimens.
- Measurement of the width of layers of magnetic read devices.
- Characterization of grain boundaries of ceramics.
Specifications:
- High resolution secondary electron imaging; backscatter electron imaging; energy dispersive spectroscopy; electron backscatter diffraction; and cathodoluminescence
- Thermally-assisted field-emission gun
- Accelerating voltage from 0.5 to 30 kV
