FESEM
S 800 Hitachi
The high-resolution reached by FESEM (~ 2 nm) allows the study of very small microstructural details. There are also applications for FESEM in different technological areas such as: nanomaterial research, electronics, new materials development, biology, and genetics.
Applications include, but are not limited to:
- Morphology analysis: Particles shape and size
- Fracture studies
- Interface behavior
- Advanced coating thickness (structure uniformity determination)
- Localization of boundaries between regions of different atomic number
- Diffusion research (chemical spatial distribution of the elements)
- Sample contamination
- Quantitative and qualitative elemental analysis
- Quality control (e.g. semiconductor)
- Grain orientation, texture and phase identification (when loaded with EBSD system).
