Phillips CM200    JEOL 1400

Phillips CM200:

The Philips CM200 field emission gun transmission electron microscope allows very high resolution images to be obtained from thin, electron transparent sections of materials. Ultimately, this microscope allows individual atoms to be imaged. The TEM allows not only structural information to be obtained, but also crystallographic studies of materials are routinely possible. This microscope has an EDAX energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy system interfaced to it, which can allow chemical analysis from regions as small as 10 nm in diameter to be obtained. In addition, it has a SIS CCD camera for direct recording of digital images.

JEOL 1400:

The JEOL 1400 transmission electron microscope is principally used in the analysis of thin sections of both biological materials and polymers. This instrument operates at accelerating voltages of up to 120kV, suitable for the analysis of "soft" materials. However, it can be used to perform structural analysis of metals and ceramics. A JEOL energy dispersive x-ray analyser is interfaced to the column which allows qualitative and quantitative analysis to be performed. The JEOL 1400 also contains a Gatan CCD which facilitates the acquisition of digital images.
