FEI Apreo VolumeScope SEM with EDAX and EBSD detectors

Apreo VolumeScope™ SEM is equipped with a field emission gun electron source and is capable of high and low vacuum imaging modes. It has high resolution SE (secondary electron), large field (low vacuum mode), BSE (backscattered electron) detectors, and TEAM™ Pegasus integrated EDS-EBSD.

VolumeScope; Serial block-face imaging for biological samples that combines mechanical and optical sectioning to produce isotropic 3D data from large volumes, high contrast and resolution (high vacuum) , optimal resolution  and charge mitigation in low vacuum.

Octane Elect Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) detector                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Velocity™ Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) detector

FEI Quanta 200F SEM

 

The Quanta 200F SEM is equipped with a field emission gun electron source and is capable of high vacuum, low vacuum and environmental imaging modes. It has high resolution SE (secondary electron), large field (low vacuum and ESEM mode) and BSE (backscattered electron) detectors.

Interchangable stages include:

7 position stage for high throughput workflow

2 position block stage for stable, high resolution

Heating stage

Cryo stage

Tescan Vega3 SEM

The Tescan Vega3 operates in high vacuum mode only and is equipped with a heated tungsten filament. Samples must be conductive or have a conductive coating. It has SE (secondary electron), BSE (backscattered electron), and EDAX (Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) detectors. Our EDAX Element EDS System has Fixed Working Distance, LN-free Drift Detector system with integrated Peltier cooling, silicon Nitride thin window, Element EDS Analysis Software and TEAM EDS data collection software, including Spectrum Utilities, Smart Quant, Smart Element Mapping, Linescan Acquisition and Software Data Management and reporting.
