Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM)

Hitachi SU8010

With its unique SE-BSE filtering modes equipped with Oxford Ultim Max Infinity 40 EDX, FE-SEM stationed at NAP provides ultra-high resolution imaging with elemental analysis and mapping. The Hitachi SU8010 also allows elimination of charging effects with low voltage imaging. It can achieve imaging resolution of 1.3nm at 1.0kV or 1.0nm at 15kV.

Furthermore, the deceleration mode enables the ultra-low accelerating voltage for shallow surface observation (0.1kV). Nonetheless, specimens for FE-SEM analysis should be dry solid with stability in vacuum condition under high-voltage electron beam.

The equipped STEM detector offers great opportunity to acquire TEM comparable images through detection of the transmitted and scattered electrons. As for STEM analysis, the sample has to be ultrathin (~ 100nm thick) to allow transmission of the electrons. The transmitted electrons provide information on the density and crystalline state of the sample whereas the scattered electrons deliver information on its compositional distribution.

Oxford Ultim Max Infinity 40 EDX system, integrated with our Hitachi SU8010 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). This advanced energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) detector delivers ultra-fast, high-resolution elemental analysis, enabling precise compositional mapping down to the nanoscale. Ultim Max Infinity 40 operating with the AZtec software suite with AZtecLive allowing LIVE TV-mode X-ray elemental maps auto labelling peak spectrum.
