The SEM Gemini 1 is a state of the art High resolution SEM with latest technology on low acceleration voltage imaging. Compared to the Supra models in the cleanroom, the Gemini 1 features a lot of sophisticated features that require specific training in order to ensure:
* Instrument safety: If not correctly operated, the instrument may suffer irreperable damage.
* Instrument safety: If not correctly operated, the instrument may suffer irreparable damage.
* User value: The level of sophistication is very high so unless correctly instructed, chances are that a certain mode may be incorrectly applied and the user will only waste time.

== Noise cancellation systems ==
The cleanroom is far from being the optimum environment for the SEM Gemini 1 as there are too many sources of noise - whether they are acoustic, mechanic, electric or magnetic of nature. To suppress the impact of some of these sources of noise, the instrument is equipped with the following:
# A Spicer Consulting SC24 Field Cancellation system: A frame with cancellation coils and controller
# A TableStable Active Antivibration platform: Platform underneath the SEM and controller
It is essential that these systems be respected as an integral part of the instrument.
