Scanning Electron Microscopes

Analytical Scanning Electron Microscopes

field emission scanning electron microscopes

Tescan offers compact, economical SEMs, ultra-high performance microscopes, SEMs with large chambers, low vacuum operation, and precision eucentric stages. The new Mira series of field emission scanning electron microscopes uses a high brightness Schottky-emitter for high-resolution / high-current / low-noise imaging.

Tabletop SEMs and Used SEMs, TEMs and FIBs

SEMs, TEMs, FIBs

The Hitachi TM3000 tabletop microscope is a higher resolution alternative to a light microscope. It's simplicity enables all users, even those new to Electron Microscopy (EM), to image their samples and to obtain high quality, high resolution images within minutes. Angstrom Scientific also sells used scanning and transmission electron microscopes and focussed ion beam systems.

Merlin FeSEM with Gemini Column

field emission scanning electron microscopes

MERLIN® is the enhanced GEMINI II column which, with its double condenser system, achieves an image resolution of 0.8 nanometers. A sample current of up to 300 nanoamperes is available for analytical purposes such as energy and wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS and WDS), diffraction analysis of backscattered electrons (EBSD) or the generation of cathodoluminescence.

EM Anticontaminator

Removes Hydrocarbons and Organics

hydrocarbon contamination problems in Electron Microscopes

XEI Scientific solves hydrocarbon contamination problems in Electron Microscopes and other high vacuum systems by RF plasma (glow discharge) cleaning with EVACTRON® plasma activated oxidation using air as the oxygen source. The Evactron® De-Contamination system produces Oxygen radicals for a fast, chemically reactive, oil and hydrocarbon removal process that is safe for most surfaces. Plasma Cleaning using the Evactron D-C improves scanning electron microscope performance.
