Hitachi partnership brings new tools and electron microscope reference center to Edmonton
Date:7/13/2011

y and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry for chemical analysis. This instrument offers standard TEM imaging and diffraction capabilities allowing the investigation of sample structure and morphology.

The Hitachi HF 3300 material science TEM is an advanced 300kV TEM/STEM instrument equipped with a post-column Gatan Tridiem Image Filter (GIF). Its cold field emission gun technology delivers superior spectroscopic performance with outstanding electron interferometry capabilities. The combination of quantitative electron microscopy techniques makes this instrument unique. The excellent flexibility and stability of the microscope both mechanically and electrically allows researchers to push the limits of physics underlying electron microscopy and analyze difficult practical samples and problems.

Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM)

The Hitachi S-5500 is among the world's highest resolution SEM, with a resolution of 0.4nm at 30kV and 1.6nm at 1kV. It permits morphological observation down to the atomic or molecular structures of various materials, far surpassing the performance of any conventional SEM. Aside from SE and BSE imaging modes, the Duo-STEM Bright Field/Dark Field Detector allows for simultaneous imaging and adjustable collection angle.

Focused Ion Dual Beam (FIB-SEM)

The Hitachi NB5000 combines the capabilities of a field emission high resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a focused ion beam (FIB) column in one instrument. This way a sample can be simultaneously sliced by FIB and analyzed by SEM, in some cases yielding three-dimensional chemical and structural information on sub-10 nm length scale. This instrument is frequently used for prototyping of various nano- and micro-mechanical devices and sensors and for site-specific sample preparation for transmission electron microscopes.
