Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM)

Fields of Research

• SEM imaging with high resolution and high contrast.
• Chemical analysis (EDAX).
• Investigations of non-conductive specimens under low-vacuum conditions.
• Investigations of wet samples at pressures up to 2600 pa under ESEM mode.
• Peltier effect on E-SEM (We can cool between 0ºC to 10ºC, specimen of very diverse in nature can be imaged)
