Electron Microscopes in BRK Electron Microscopy Core
by Xingtao Liu 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Dear Users This email is the latest update about the electron microscopes in BRK Electron Microscopy Core. If you are not a user of EM core, I do apologize for the bothering. * Hitachi S-4800 SEM and EDX system Due to a vacuum issue, the SEM is down now. We are contacting the engineer to get the problem solved. So the SEM is offline now. Once it is fixed, you will receive another email about the latest update.Sorry for the inconvenience. The EDX system is in iLab system now and the usage is being charged now. So when you log in, you can go to the Equipment by Category--->Scanning Electron Microscope---> EDX-Hitachi S-4800 to create a session for EDX while you are using SEM. So if you are trained on EDX, please send an email to Xingtao Liu (liu1749(a)purdue.edu) so that he can add you to the iLab system. In the email, please mention that who provided the training. Thank you for your cooperation. * FEI Nova DualBeam SEM/FIB The FIB in BRM EM Core is still operational and the manipulator for Lift-out is working fine. We have not got a date for the move of Nova yet, so we will still have it operational for at least another 30 days. So if you need it, you can still use it at Birck. * FEI Titan TEM The tip on Titan has been changed, however, we still have some issues after changing the tip. The system crashed last Friday so we still need two or three weeks to get the problem solved. Sorry for the inconvenience. If there are any questions, please let me know. Best, Xingtao Liu
