Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)Divider

JEOL JSM-6510LV/LGS Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with Oxford Inca


The JSM-6510 has both standard high vacuum mode as well as Low vacuum mode.  Low vacuum SEM mode enables one to observe and analyze non-conductive, wet, non-high vacuum compatible specimens.

User-customizable graphic user interface (GUI) has automatic functions, recipes (standard & custom applications settings), multiple live image display, signal mixing, a desktop publisher and a browseable image database for comfortable operation from observation to report creation.

Software includes comprehensive on-screen help with animation videos for routine

SEM operation and maintenance, uses a flow chart and tab driven GUI and has user customizable icons for common operation.
