Analytical Characterization Facilities: CamScan 44FE Field Emission Gun Scanning Electron Microscope

CamScan 44FE Field Emission Gun Scanning Electron Microscope

Uniquely configured to carry out a wide range of materials studies including crystallographic analysis ussing ECCI, SACP, and EBSD.

 

 

ECCI image of dislocations along a crack edge in a 4-point bend specimen of NiAl.

Instrument Features

Secondary electron resolution of 2.5 nm at 25 kV and 5.0 nm at 5 kV

 

Secondary electron image of a fracture surface of Fe-50at% Al.

 

Backscattered electron resolution of 5.0 nm at 25 kV

 

 

Backscattered electron image showing channeling contrast from twins in TiAl.

 

Oversize chamber with fully motorized stage for automated data collection. Specimens as large as 3 kg can be observed with a stage x-and-y travel of 100 mm X 100 mm. In-situ mechanical testing using tensile, bending, and fatigue stages.
The oversize chamber accomadates large specimens and a vareity of in-situ stages.

 

Selected area channeling pattern capabilities (SACP) with a spatial resolution of 3 micrometers.

 

Selected area channeling pattern from TiAl reveals superlattice line details.

 

 

Electron back scattered diffraction/orientation imaging microscopy (EBSD/OIM) capabilities using a CamScan Ortex camera and HKL Technologies Channel Software. System allows both beam and stage scanning control.

 

EBSD orientation map shows crystal rotation and dislocation slip band at grain boundary in gamma-TiAl.
