The department has a TEM 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.

Further information is avilable on our Transmission Electron Microscopy page

The department has two SEMs, a Jeol 6701F and a Jeol 7600F housed in LG27, in the basement of the Christopher Ingold Building.  They are both field emission (FEGs) instruments and the instrumental resolution is about 2 – 3 nm as measured on gold particles sputtered onto a carbon substrate. Both SEMs are equipped with Oxford Instruments EDS detectors, and have Secondary Electron (SE) and Back Scatter Electron (BSE) Detectors
