Hitachi S4700 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope
Hitachi S-4700 is a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). More than a standard SEM, the S-4700, under optimal conditions, can magnify images upwards of 500,000 times and resolve features to 2 nanometers. In addition, a cathodoluminescence detector, backscatter electron detector and energy dispersive x-ray spectrographic detector accompany the microscope. [Product Link]
