Good system. Multi user facility is a must.
Multi-use facility
This ESEM is easy for use the multi-user facility. I don't like the removable back scattered detector, all others are good.

The Thermo Scientific™ Quattro ESEM combines all-around performance in imaging and analytics with a unique environmental mode (ESEM™) that allows samples to be studied in their natural state. It is ideal for a wide variety of academic, industrial, and government labs that want the versatility and ease-of-use needed for multiple users of different experience levels and disciplines on a platform that also supports unique in situ experiments. Quattro’s field emission gun (FEG) ensures excellent resolution, while its three vacuum modes (high vacuum, low vacuum, and ESEM) provide the flexibility to accommodate the widest range of samples of any SEM available, including samples that are outgassing or otherwise not vacuum-compatible.
Quattro ESEM applications include:
Nanocharacterization
- Metals and alloys, fractures, welds, polished sections, magnetic and superconducting materials
- Ceramics, composites, plastics
- Films/coatings
- Geological sections, minerals
- Soft materials: polymers, pharmaceuticals, filters, gels, tissues, plant material
- Particles, porous materials, fibers
Characterization in situ
- Crystallization/phase transformation
- Oxidation, catalysis
- Material growth
- Hydration/dehydration/wetting/contact angle analysis
- Tensile (with heating or cooling)
SEM and EDS analysis in industry
As the complexity of industrial processes increases, so does the need for more rigorous, high-quality analysis to ensure that products meet all standards of quality and reliability. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has become a common tool for modern research and development, as well as for failure analysis and troubleshooting, because it provides detailed (nanometer-scale) information about the surface structure of samples. SEM is often used in conjunction with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), which adds elemental information to the surface imaging data.

An introduction to elemental analysis with ColorSEM Technology
Elemental analysis with traditional EDS (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) runs on a dedicated hardware and software system. This requires constant switching between two separate operating platforms, usually navigating through complex workflows to get to the answer. In this application note, discover how the Thermo Scientific™ ColorSEM™ Technology can overcome this, delivering new levels of speed, convenience, and insight during SEM EDS analysis.
