The [[/Zeiss|Zeiss SEM]] and the [[/Supra60VP|Supra 60 VP SEM]] are both 'Supra VP' models from Carl Zeiss (a 40 and 60 respectively). As such they share a lot of similaritites but they also differ in some respects. The SmartSEM operator software installed on both these SEM's is also running on the Leo. This is very convenient as it allows the users to shift between instruments quite easily. | The [[/Zeiss|Zeiss SEM]] and the [[/Supra60VP|Supra 60 VP SEM]] are both 'Supra VP' models from Carl Zeiss (a 40 and 60 respectively).

It's a state-of-the-art SEM that will produce excellent images on any sample. The possibility of operating at higher chamber pressures in the VP mode makes imaging of bulk non-conducting samples possible. | ||
