The SEM/FIB used is managed by the University of New Hampshire's (UNH's) University Instrumentation Center (UIC) and was purchased with funds awarded to UNH from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) (MRI Grant 1337897; Todd Gross, Mechanical Engineering, UNH, PI) with additional funds from UNH. EDS/EBSD components on this system were purchased with start-up funds from UNH at the discretion of Marko Knezevic (Mechanical Engineering, UNH).

Specifications:

  • Combined SEM/FIB field emission microscope
  • High brightness Schottky emitter for high-resolution/high current/low-noise imaging
  • FIB column for site specific analysis, deposition of platinum, and ablation of materials
  • Automatic FIB cutting and signal acquiring followed by 3D reconstruction with 3D visualization
  • Standard Secondary Electron (SE), Back-Scatter Electron (BSE), and Cathodoluminescence (CL) detectors
  • In-beam SE and BSE detectors
  • Edax EDS and EBSD detectors for elemental analysis and examination of crystallographic orientation of materials
  • Ga liquid metal ion source
  • Magnification from 4X to 1,000,000X (at 1kV to 30kV)
  • Tri monitor set up with additional 60” common display

Available Accessories:

  • Gatan tensile/compression stage is available for performing dynamic material property studies with synchronized image and data acquisition. Maximum load is 2,000 Newtons
