External use of ZEISS EVO MA15 SEM

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
ZEISS EVO MA15 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
The system is designed for materials characterisation and microstructural analysis. It belongs to the ZEISS EVO family and is equipped with an ELECTRON SOURCE electron source. It features a large specimen chamber with a motorised five-axis stage, enabling the analysis of samples of various sizes and geometries. One of its main advantages is its ability to operate in both high-vacuum and variable-pressure (VP/ESEM) modes, allowing the examination of non-conductive or slightly moist materials without the need for prior conductive coating.The ZEISS EVO MA15 is equipped with secondary electron (SE) and backscattered electron (BSE) detectors, providing detailed information on surface topography and compositional contrast. Thanks to its versatility, the instrument is widely used in fields such as materials science and engineering, geology, metallurgy, biology, forensic science, and microelectronics.Electron beam resolution (ideal specimen, optimal working distance):
