Used GATAN K2 #293647569 for sale

GATAN K2 is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) designed for high-resolution imaging and analysis of the microstructure of biological and industrial samples. It incorporates many features that distinguish it from conventional SEMs, including a large field of view (FOV) of up to 1 cm2, an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometer, high resolution (2nm), variable spot size (200 to 400 microns) and digital image capture. The combination of these features allows K2 to provide detailed insight into the three-dimensional structure of virtually any sample. GATAN K2's energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer is capable of energy filtered imaging, which can be used to uncover subtle detail such as the small differences in the composition of two materials. This method eliminates the need for chemical etching and allows for higher resolution images in a much shorter time. Elemental maps can be created with improved accuracy and at higher resolutions. The variable spot size feature of K2 equipment can accommodate samples with varying surface topographies, enabling greater contrast and detail, even in highly varied samples. For samples with larger dimensions, a telecentric series of variable spot sizes is available to produce high resolution images of the entire area of interest. The Digital Imaging Capture feature of GATAN K2 system permits acquisition of extremely high resolution images using a digital camera with up to 2560 x 2160 pixels. This image resolution is sufficient for subsequent analysis and visualization of the sample's structure and composition. Another feature of K2 unit is the automated stage, which allows for quicker sample placement and rapid image capture. GATAN K2 machine also includes sophisticated image processing capabilities such as 3D tomographic reconstruction, allowing users to view 3D models through either conventional or advanced visualization techniques. In addition, surface profiles can be easily generated and compared with 3D topographies. Overall, K2 is an impressive and powerful scanning electron microscope that provides a uniquely comprehensive suite of advanced imaging and analysis capabilities for industry and academic researchers alike. Its large FOV, energy dispersive spectrometry, automated stage, variable spot size, digital image capture, and advanced 3D visualization capabilities truly set it apart from other SEMs on the market.
