Description

A field emission gun scanning electron microscope (FEG-SEM) equipped with secondary and backscattered electron detectors for high-resolution surface imaging. It also supports elemental analysis via energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Compared to tungsten filament SEMs like the JSM-5600, the FEG-SEM provides sharper images at magnifications above ×20,000, though with longer analysis times, making it ideal for detailed microstructural studies.
