The FEI Quanta QEMSCAN® is a Field Emission SEM equipped with twin Bruker 30mm2 Energy Dispersive Spectrometers.

The FEI QEMSCAN® software enables the automated acquisition of high resolution mineral and/or element maps, on geological, archaeological or other materials samples over large areas. It also offers automated stitching of high resolution SE, or BSE images (MAPS®) to cover large areas.

Training

All new CAM users receive initial one-on-one training.

Attending the Introduction to Scanning Electron Microscopy (Life Sciences) / Introduction to Scanning Electron Microscopy (Physical Sciences) workshop will give users a deeper understanding of SEM and help users to improve the quality of their data.
