We have the ability to generate high
resolution photo realistic digital SEM images from 15 to 20,000 times in
magnification. We can acquire SEM images with either our Everhart and Thornley detector (conventional SEM) or with our backscattered electron detector (strong atomic number contrast), see examples of these various contrast mechanisms. Non-conductive samples can be sputter coated with Au/Pd for high resolution imaging or vacuum coated with carbon for X-ray work. Our x-ray detector is state of the art, with excellent peak resolution and can detect all elements from Boron through uranium. We can provide x-ray spectra, x-ray maps, elemental line scan, particle size analysis, etc. All systems are PC controlled. All output can be saved in standard image formats such as TIF, JPG, or BMP. If a customer is not familiar with efficient handling of digital images, we would be glad to assist. View examples of our work here. |

Ric, our microscopist, has been working in the field of SEM for ten years,
where he has focused on using the best SEM contrast mechanism to reach the
desired analytical objective. His formal training is in chemistry, but he
has a strong interest in materials science. |

Our goal with every project is to provide a complete data set that "speaks for itself". Our natural tendency is to perform thorough and conscientious investigations. Another critical goal is to maintain a low cost structure, in order to allow our customers to afford a complete characterization of their material issues. Taking advantage of recent technological advances, we can provide low cost micro-analysis and give the customer the highest quality output. We insist on a clearly stated background and objective before we start any investigations. New challenges are always welcome.
