Used HITACHI TM-1000 #9205307 for sale

HITACHI TM-1000 scanning electron microscope is a high resolution imaging instrument that provides detailed, three-dimensional visualizations of microscopic objects or features. HITACHI TM 1000 can be operated in two distinct imaging modes: secondary electron imaging (SEI) and cathodoluminescence (CL). In SEI mode, TM-1000 utilizes a focused beam of electrons which interacts with the sample, resulting in the emission of three types of secondary electrons—backscatter, forward scatter and Auger electrons. The electrons are collected using a detector and then processed to create a black and white image of the sample. By adjusting the energy of the beam and detection settings, SEI mode allows for imaging of objects with a mass resolution of approximately 1 nanometer. In CL mode, TM 1000 uses a specialized light detector to capture the spectrum of light emitted from the sample when the electron beam interacts with it. This emission can be altered by controlling certain conditions, such as the amount of energy supplied to the electron beam. CL mode is used to image samples that contain primarily luminescent materials, such as certain minerals or some semiconductor materials, and can be used with a mass resolution of up to 0.5 nanometers. In addition to size and composition analysis, HITACHI TM-1000 can also be used to analyze the surfaces of the sample to obtain information on electric characteristics, such as dissipation factors and leakage currents, or chemical variables, such as chemical reactivity. Finally, HITACHI TM 1000 features an automated sample stage, allowing for easy calibration and operation. This stage is capable of a range of movements, including oriented, rotational and horizontal translations. This aids in the targeted imaging of features and provides significantly improved data collection speeds over manual operation.
