- Transmission Electron Microscopy
The department has two TEMs available for general use.
A Jeol 2100 200 kV fitted with a LaB6 filament giving a point resolution of 0.13 nm. It is equipped with bright and dark field STEM detectors and an Oxford Instruments EDS detector. It is housed in LG26, in the basement.
A Jeol CX100 II 100 kV with a tungsten filament. The microscope is nearly 40 years old and can resolve features as small as 2 – 3 nm, although this is very sample dependent. It is housed in room LG27, in the basement.
Further information is avilable on our Transmission Electron Microscopy page
- Scanning Electron Microscopy
The department has three SEMs, a Jeol 6700F, a Jeol 6701F and a Jeol 7600F housed in LG27, in the basement. All three have field emission guns (FEGs) and the instrumental resolution is about 2 – 3 nm as measured on gold particles sputtered onto a carbon substrate. However, this resolution is rarely achieved on users’ samples due to sample charging or beam damage effects. All three SEMs are equipped with Oxford Instruments EDS detectors.
