OFERTA FORMATIVA DCM - FCT/UNL
Navigation
Scanning Electron Microscopy / Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS)
Location: Lab 03 CENIMAT
Responsible: Rui Silva
SEM/EDS ZEISS - DSM 962
Description:
A scanning electron microscope is type of microscope that produces imagens of a sample surface by scanning it with a focused bean of accelerated electrons, the primary electrons (PE). The installed SEM, Zeiss DSM 962, has three detectors (standard installation) that allow the collection of secondary electrons (SE), backscattering electrons (BSE) and X-rays photons (Xr) emitted by atoms excited by the electron beam.
