Good system. Multi user facility is a must.
Application Area: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)
