Instrument Information

Brief description: This novel CFE gun employs a new vacuum system and a Hitachi patented technique to greatly reduce gas molecule deposition on the emitter tip. The emitter always operates in a “clean” state, and emission current and beam stability are significantly improved. The result is the ultimate SEM electron source offering the highest gun brightness, high stability and incredible resolution performance at all accelerating voltages due to its smallest energy width. The enhanced stability and probe current provides opportunities for enhanced low voltage elemental microanalysis.
