      Softwares<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\t\n\n
      • \n\t\n\n

        AutoScript to automate MEB operation<\/p>\n\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      • \n\t\n\n

        Maps for mosaics aquisitions<\/p>\n\n<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Applications <\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This extremely versatile microscope can observe any type of sample. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The heating and cooling plate allows in situ<\/em>experiments. The operation can be automated and many parameters are tracked (temperature, stage position, pressure, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Variable accelerating voltage facilitates both beam sensitive sample for surface imagery (low accelerating voltage), and conductive sample for high resolution microscopy, for composite information (high accelerating voltage). <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
