The Geoanalytical Electron Microscopy & Spectroscopy Centre (GEMS) supports a range scanning electron microscopy techniques, from SE, BSE and CL imaging, EDS and EBSD analysis, as well as Raman Spectroscopy.
Electron and materials technique: Cryo-SEM
Cryo FIB-SEM
This FIB-SEM with cryogenic attachment is one of only a few in the UK. The microscope offers resolution down to ~1nm, elemental contrast and identification, fast and accurate milling and patterning using the FIB, nanoscale tomography, TEM sample preparation and the ability to work on liquids, gels, polymers, biological matter and other materials using the optional cryo-mode.
