Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM)

Equipments

Fields of Research
  • SEM imaging with high resolution and high contrast.
  • Chemical analysis (EDAX).
  • Investigations of non-conductive specimens under low-vacuum conditions.
  • Investigations of wet samples at pressures up to 2600 pa under ESEM mode.
  • Peltier effect on E-SEM (We can cool between 0ºC to 10ºC, specimen of very diverse in nature can be imaged)
