Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) provides high-resolution and high-depth-of-field images of the surface and near the surface of a sample. SEM is one of the most widely used analytical tools as it can quickly provide very detailed images. SEM provides elemental identification of almost the entire periodic table and is also adept at generating detailed images of surface topography. CD BioSciences offers Omicron VT-SPM-based scanning electron microscopy Imaging services available to assist customers in biological and materials research.
The Omicron VT-SPM is a UHV Scanning Probe Microscope and is equipped with a combined Scanning Tunneling Microscopy/Atomic Force Microscopy unit with a sample stage that permits images to be obtained over a temperature range of 25 to 1500 K. The system is also equipped with a reverse view LEED instrument and with a metal evaporator. The STM uses a standard tube scanner with an electrochemically sharpened metal tip whereas AFM images are obtained with a needle-sensor based on a miniature quartz resonator. Sample introduction and tip exchange are achieved without breaking vacuum using a load lock system. The STM tip and AFM needle-sensor are readily interchangeable.
