Used PHILIPS / FEI Quanta 450 #9393348 for sale

PHILIPS / FEI Quanta 450 is a state-of-the-art scanning electron microscope (SEM) designed for high resolution imaging and analysis of a wide range of samples. It operates on the principle of secondary electrons (SE) produced when a focused beam of electrons interacts with a sample, which are then accelerated and detected to create an image. The imaging capabilities of FEI Quanta 450 are unrivaled, with superb resolution down to 1nm and magnification up to 500kx. It features a field emission gun (FEG) with a cathodoluminescence (CL) detector, which allows for simultaneous imaging of both the morphology and elemental composition of a sample. The CL detector is sensitive enough to detect elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and chlorine. PHILIPS Quanta 450 is also equipped with analyzers for various techniques such as X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), as well as automated cryo-preparation and tomography capabilities for three-dimensional imaging of frozen hydrated specimens. Quanta 450 offers advanced automation options which dramatically simplify the preparation, alignment, and operation of the instrument. The primary materials of PHILIPS / FEI Quanta 450 are slim aluminum frame with stainless steel wrap, and active energy filters made from cryo-vapor deposited carbon. The instrument also features an integrated, liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor and a joystick for easy operation. It can be fitted into an existing laboratory or system to interface with a variety of external devices. FEI Quanta 450 is also easy to maintain due to its large air filters, which can easily be accessed and swapped out. Overall, PHILIPS Quanta 450 is a highly advanced scanning electron microscope that enables users to explore, analyze and study samples at resolutions and magnifications of up to 1nm and 500kx respectively. Moreover, its automation options significantly reduce time needed for setup, allowing users to dedicate more of their time to uncovering the mysteries of their samples.
