    Tescan Vega 4 GMU scanning electron microscope with Oxford Instruments Explore EDS analyser
    The scanning electron microscope allows analysis of surface topography and morphology with simultaneous elemental microanalysis.
    The use of a variable vacuum allows observations to be made on poorly conducting specimens. The large working chamber allows work with large samples without the need for cutting.

    Features include:
    – Tungsten emitter
    – SE and BSE detector
    – Variable vacuum operation
    – Large working chamber
    – EDS analyser
    – Max. magnification of 500,000x
