TEM JEOL 2100FJEOL 2100FThis JEOL 2100F is a transmission electron microscope equipped with a high resolution pole-piece (HRP) and thermal field emission source. The point-to-point resolution is 230 pm in TEM mode and 160 pm in STEM mode. TEM Images can be acquired on either the Orius Pre-GIF camera or the Gatan UltraScan 1000 Post-GIF camera. STEM images can be acquired using a JEOL BF detector or the GIF's BF/ADF detectors. In addition to high resolution imaging, the microscope is equipped for both electron energy loss spectroscopy (Quantum SE GIF) and x-ray spectroscopy (Oxford X-MaxN 100 TLE Windowless SDD). Both single tilt (+/- 40 Degrees) and double |

FIB JEOL 4500JEOL 4500The JIB-4500 is a high performance LaB6 SEM with Ga liquid metal ion source FIB. It is equipped with EDAX energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and Omniprobe AutoProbe 200 in situ TEM lift-out and Omniprobe OmniGIS gas injector system.. |
Super Resolution GE DeltaVisonGE DeltaVisonThe GE DeltaVision OMX system is an optical-sectioning epifluorescence microscope capable of operating in 3D-SIM, TIRF or widefield-deconvolution mode with the option of stage/sample heating, CO2 capabilities and live-cell observations. In most applications sample preparation/engineering is "nearly" identical to conventional light microscopy. Excitation lines include 405, 445, 488, 514, 568, 642nm; multiplexing up to 4 colors is possible. 3 sCMOS cameras provide good sensitivity with near simultaneous acquisition. Speed in 3D-SIM mode is enhanced by the "Blaze" light path which manipulates the structured illumination pattern without |

HIM Zeiss OrionGE DeltaVisonThe ORION NanoFab uses a ion beam to achieve imaging with both conductive and non-conductive samples with the use of a electron flood gun for charge compensation. A higher depth of field compared to images acquired with FE-SEMs and greater surface sensitivity. A gas injection system (GIS) with the Fibics Nanopatterning and Visualization Engine (NPVE) is attached for lithography. |
XPS Kratos Axis UltraKratos Axis UltraThe Kratos Axis Ultra DLD is an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) equipped with a magnetic immersion lens and charge neutralisation system with the spherical mirror and concentric hemispherical analyzers with the choice of either a Mg or Al anodes for high-sensitivity surface analysis. The instrument has a typical sampling depth of 2-10 nm and detection limit around 1 ppt (varies depending on element of interest). The hemispherical analyzer provides both high energy resolution and high sensitivity spectroscopic performance. The small spot capabilities of less than 15 microns are achieved via a series of selected area apertures |

XRF Bruker S8Bruker S8The S8 TIGER is a high performance wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (WDXRF) suitable for fast qualitative, quantitative, and “standardless” analysis of elemental composition from oxygen to uranium. Standardless analysis (QuantExpress) is capable of up to 0.1% accuracy, whereas a calibrated sample matrix can attain < 1 ppm sensitivity. The 4kW S8 uses a rhodium X-ray tube, scintillation and proportional flow detectors, and is capable of analyzing fluorescence energies from 0-100 keV. It also uses a robotic sample changer to allow for high-throughput of many samples. The S8 is equipped with 3 crystals (LiF200, X |
