Apreo Scanning Electron Microscope with EDAX EDS and EBSD

The ThermoFisher Apreo HiVac SEM is a Schottky Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) that combines high and low-voltage ultra-high resolution capabilities with an electrostatic lens design. The instrument features beam deceleration and unique in-lens detection offering unprecedented contrast and versatility to researchers working with a variety of materials and devices. Achievable resolution is 0.8nm at 15kV and 1.0nm at 1kV using the immersion lens. The Apreo SEM is equipped with EDAX EDS and EBSD detectors. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
