Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM)
JEOL 80-300kV Ultra-high resolution aberration corrected TEM/STEM. Utilising a cold field emission gun, this instrument provides probe and image corrected imaging at sub angstrom spatial resolution and includes both EDS and EELS capabilities.
JEOL F200 80-200kV, cold field emission gun high resolution analytical TEM/STEM offering the very latest in analytical transmission electron microscopy and forms part of the ºù«Ӱҵ . Equipped with twin EDS detectors and fast-EELS capabilities, this instrument represents the state of the art in conventional TEM/STEM.
FEI Tecnai T20 provides general purpose high tilt TEM equipped with CCD camera for the collection of both bright/dark-field images and electron diffraction patterns.
Electron Probe Micro Analyser (EPMA)
JEOL JXA8530F+ equipped with four wavelength dispersive spectrometers (WDS), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), panchromatic cathode luminescence (CL) and soft X-ray emission spectroscopy (SXES) detectors.
