Used PHILIPS / FEI Quanta 400 #293670640 for sale

PHILIPS / FEI Quanta 400 is a high-tech scanning electron microscope (SEM). It has a field-emission gun (FEG) system, which has small emitters in order to maximize resolution and minimize sample charging. Its energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX or EDS) detector is sensitive to most elements in the periodic table. This is complemented by a secondary-electron (SE) detector and an optional backscatter-electron (BE) detector. FEI Quanta 400 features both quantitative energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and qualitative EDS. With the quantitative technique, one can accurately measure trace element concentrations. The qualitative system works to detect elements that are present in low quantities. With the option of beam-specimen current (BSC) measurement, the microscope can observe sample charge accumulation. PHILIPS Quanta 400 has a maximum magnification of 500,000X and a resolution of 1.2 nm. It operates in low-vacuum mode, meaning it is effective in imaging non-conductive surfaces. The SE detector is optimized for imaging non-conductive samples, and the BE detector is optimized for imaging conductive samples. This allows for a wide range of materials to be studied, and a single specimen can be easily studied using both the SE and BE detectors. Quanta 400 also features automatic stage recognition, for easy movement of samples, and integrated sample preparation and cleaning. Its digital camera allows for direct observation of samples and the interface is easy to use. Overall, PHILIPS / FEI Quanta 400 is an advanced SEM, capable of producing detailed images of samples from the atomic to the macroscopic level. It is suitable for use in various fields, including materials science, geology, forensics, and more. Its wide range of detectors and high resolution make it ideal for detailed analysis of both type of surfaces, conductive and non-conductive.
