Centre for Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (CESEM)

CESEM has two scanning electron microscopes: an XL30 ESEM with LaB6 filament, and a Quanta 650 FEG SEM. Both are equipped with a range of detectors and stages, including EDX, backscattered, charge contrast, wettabiliity and cathodoluminescence imaging capabilities, and are ideally suited for a wide range of investigations. Low vacuum and ESEM modes are available. Explore some of the systems and resources they offer users below, and be sure to check out their website for full details and the most up-to-date information.
