Used PHILIPS / FEI CM12 #293637889 for sale

PHILIPS / FEI CM12 scanning electron microscope is an invaluable tool for imaging and analyzing the microscopic details of various materials. This instrument works on the principle of using a high-powered electron beam, that is finely focused to scan a sample, and to form the image. The image formed is composed of a large number of electrons that are scattered off the sample, and are collected in a detector at the back of the instrument. FEI CM12 features a variable pressure equipment that can offer a wide range of operating and imaging conditions. This variable pressure system allows the user to adjust the acceleration voltage, and so regulate the amount of voltage that is used to "fire" off the electron beam. This gives the user the ability to fine tune the resolution of the image and improve the image contrast. PHILIPS CM 12 also has a wide array of detectors that can be used to collect different types of backscattered electrons, light elements and X-ray emission. These detectors allow for a very high level of detail to be obtained from the imaging process. This instrument also offers a variety of sample holders that can be used to support and hold the sample during the imaging process. This is done to ensure that there is no movement of the sample during the imaging to avoid blurring of the resulting image. FEI CM 12 also has an auto gun control unit, which helps the user to obtain optimal electron beam performance. This machine usually suffers from little to no misfocusing and aberration, which helps to obtain the best resolution available. In addition, this instrument also comes with an image analysis package, which helps to acquire images and analyze the data acquired. This analysis package offers a variety of digital image processing techniques, and tools to help to provide accurate quantitative data. Finally, PHILIPS / FEI CM 12 also has an impressive operation life, which is usually along the lines of 30,000 hours. This ensures that the instrument can provide reliable results for a significant period of time, without the need for repairs or replacements. Overall, PHILIPS CM12 scanning electron microscope is an extremely versatile instrument, that can be used to image, analyze and obtain quantitative data from various samples. It has many features, such as a variable pressure tool, an auto gun control asset, multiple detectors and sample holders, as well as a long service life, that make it an invaluable tool for researchers.
