| Full Name | SEM/FEI Quanta 200 |
|---|---|
| Category | Molecular Analysis |
| Description | The SEM produces images of a sample by scanning it with a focused beam of electrons. The electrons interact with atoms in the sample, producing various signals that can be detected and that contain information about the sample's surface topography and composition. The Quanta 200 SEM is a flexible, simple-to-use instrument. It can be operated regular high-vacuum, low-vacuum and ESEM modes for imaging many varieties of sample. It uses a conventional tungsten electron source giving a resolution of 3.5nm. The Quanta is equipped with the standard SE and BSE detectors as well as an EBSD orientation mapping system. |
