Model: Magellan 400

 

SEM equipped with a load-lock, an in-lens and a back-scatter secondary electron detectors (normal imaging), Bruker X-ray detector (elemental analysis), stage bias (imaging dielectric samples), two CCDs for sample navigation and stage side view.

 

A mini sputter-coater is available in the SEM lab to pre-coat SEM specimens with a conducting layer (Al, Au and C targets are available).

This tool is to be used ONLY in conjunction with the SEM work.

 

Users in Charge:

Leader: Dr Yang Li
