Electron microscopes can excite electrons to form images that magnify micron and nanostructures up to 10 million times, providing amazing levels of fine magnification and allowing researchers to observe even individual atoms. Alfa Chemistry can provide innovative solutions for electron microscopy and microanalysis. We offer Philips XL 40 ESEM instruments that allow customers to combine high-resolution imaging with physical, elemental, chemical and electrical analysis to obtain usable data from the widest range of samples.
Philips XL 40 ESEM
1. The instrument is capable of operating in low or high vacuum modes. It includes Oxford AZtec EDS and both high (1,000℃) and low temperature stages.
1) Remember to insert the EDS detector before use and remove it before venting. If the detector is not inserted, the counts will be VERY low.
2) Insert the detector:
a. On the AZtec computer, in the bottom right corner of the screen, click on the EDS icon and select Insertion then In.
3) Remove the detector:
a. On the AZtec computer, in the bottom right corner of the screen, click on the EDS icon and select Insertion then OUT.
2. WARNING: This must be done before venting the chamber to prevent equipment damage.
3. Large area montage imaging and elemental mapping (up to few square centimeters)
4. EDS-based phase analysis
5. Chemical contrast imaging and EDS-based particle analysis (Oxford AZtecFeature)
6. Crystallographic phase mapping, texture analysis and grain size orientation distribution by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD, Oxford AZtecCrystal)
The FEI Philips XL 40 Environmental Scanning Microscope is a large chamber scanning electron microscope capable of imaging hydrated and contaminated samples. Advanced accessories include a thin-window energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and hot or cold stages. The system is operated via easy-to-use software control using a Windows user interface. The ESEM can be used for organic and inorganic scanning electron analysis.
