AFEG 250 Analytical ESEM (FEI Quanta FEG 250)

The AFEG is an FEI Quanta FEG 250(Field Emission Gun) scanning electron microscope with a spatial resolution of 2 nm for the ETD detector in high vacuum at 30 keV. The microscope can operate in high vacuum and low vacuum modes at room temperature. Our AFEG is fitted with EDS and WDS detectors, which allows for analytical measurements in all the operation modes.
