Optical Photothermal IR is a breakthrough technique that’s opening up new possibilities in life science and biological research.
A series of video tutorials demonstrating how to use Gatan’s IS player, part of GMS 3 (Gatan Microscopy Suite) software for TEM/SEM.
SEM-EDS can be used to characterise the composition of polymer composites. This is useful in failure analysis, to detect and identify contaminants and defects, and to check homogeneity.
Map defect distribution and variations for process development of materials for electronic / optoelectronic devices. CL is ideal for materials not suitable for photoluminescence spectroscopy.
How SEM/EDS is used in failure analysis of steel, with examples of bend test failures, coating defects and corrosion in the automotive industry.
This year there have already been three scientific publications featuring the breakthough techniques of O-PTIR and IR + Raman.
Empty modelling identifies components and unknown materials from complex mixtures, even without knowledge of the species present.
Self-focusing SIMS is a new technique for measuring the composition of semiconductors and SiGE devices. It’s ten times faster than studying nanometre-scale features directly with methods such as TEM or APT.
