Scanning Electron Microscope
This week our new Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was installed. This machine replaces an older model that had limited capabilities. Our new Hitachi TM4000 SEM, in contrast, can magnify samples 100,000 times, does 3D mapping of surfaces, has an option for cathodoluminescence imaging, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. In short: a very fancy microscope that BOSCORF makes available to the scientific community.
