Crystal Orientation in Geology

Studying Crystal Orientation in Geology with Cathodoluminescence Polarisation-Filtered Spectrum Imaging

Cathodoluminescence can be used to study crystal structure orientation – in this example we look at how it can be used on a geological sample.

Thermo Phenom Pharos G2

New Thermo Scientific Phenom Pharos G2 Desktop FEG-SEM

The Thermo Scientific Phenom Pharos G2 is a desktop FEG-SEM (Field Emission Gun – Scanning Electron Microscope) with upgraded features and low kV imaging.

SEM in Battery Development

Analysing Graphite with SEM in Lithium Ion Battery Development

How desktop SEM can used in-house in lithium ion battery development to analyse graphite and battery materials.

Integrated SEM-EDS for Failure Analysis

Failure Analysis with Integrated SEM-EDS

Integrating SEM and EDS in one system makes it much quicker and easier to identify the root cause of failures. It’s up to twice as fast as conventional techniques, for a lower cost-per-sample and long-term savings.
