New State-of-the-Art Instrumentation Posted on Mon, Jan 13, 2020 at 4:58 PM
The Helios G4 Plasma Focused Ion Beam CXe Workstation is a fourth generation, fully digital, Extreme High Resolution Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE SEM) equipped with an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) focused ion beam (PFIB).
The Talos F200i S/TEM is a flexible and compact 200 kV FEG Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (S/TEM), which is designed for fast, precise and quantitative characterization of nanomaterials.
The 300 kV Themis Z is a FEG Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (S/TEM) with a high-tension voltage range of 60-300 kV.
The Research Service Centers in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering are the new home to three state-of-the-art, high-resolution electron microscopes.
The microscopes will provide support and enhance the research, education and public service missions of the University of Florida by providing access to characterization and process instrumentation and facilities. With expert staff on hand to provide assistance and guidance, the students, faculty and industry researchers who use these facilities are ensured the most effective and appropriate use of the center's capabilities.
All of the equipment is scheduled to be available for use and training in Spring of 2020. Announcements on utilization, service and training will be sent to the UF research community upon achieving the installation milestones necessary to start accepting users.
