Scanning Electron Microscopy
(JSM-6500F)

The JSM-6500F is a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) equipped with the In-Lens Thermal Field Emission Electron Gun (TFEG). The JSM-6500F offers high resolution, a multi-purpose specimen chamber, a motorized, automated specimen stage, one-action specimen exchange, and ideal geometry with large probe current at small probe diameter for EDS. Also included is stage automation with computer control of X, Y, Z Tilt and eucentric rotation.
