SEM FEG ZEISS GeminiSEM 460

High-resolution scanning electron microscope

Specific features of the machine

  • Schottky-type field emission gun (FEG)
  • High vacuum (HV) mode or pressure-controlled mode (VP)
  • Acceleration voltage: 0.02 to 30 kV
  • Secondary electron resolution  :
    • 0.7 nm at 15kV
    • 1.1 nm at 1kV

High-vacuum imaging

  • secondary electrons (In-Lens / Everhart-Thornley)
  • backscattered electrons (EsB / BSD)

Pressure-controlled imaging

  • secondary electrons (depending on the pressure: C2D and/or In-Lens)
  • backscattered electrons (EsB)

Equipments

  • Energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDS) system with a Bruker XFlash 7-60 SDD detector (7th generation with a 60 mm² surface area)
  • EBSD analysis system with a digital CCD camera (EDAX HIKARI SUPER) and OIM and TEAM software
