Cartographie 3D quantititative de la surface d’un spécimen, incluant les surfaces complexes
Resolution : 3 nm at 30 kV, 7 nm at 3kV
Detectors, cameras and spectrometers :
-
Secondary electrons (SE), backscattered electrons (BSE), energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD).
Specifications :
-
Equipped with a variable pressure mode (VPSEM) going from 6 to 650 Pa.
-
Stereoscopic image function.
-
low aberation objective lens and improved bias function that provide higher emission current at low accelerating voltage (kV).
-
Excellent image sharpness (S/N) at low accelerating voltages.
-
Robust condenser lens abating field of view or focus deviations during accelerating voltage and probe current condition adjustements. Theses imaging efficiency gains simply the overall imaging optimization process.
Applications :
Scanning electron microscope for quantitative 3D mapping on a sample surface, studying complexe surfaces, micro-detection of elements and crystal orientations.
