      Desktop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

      Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) har brug for levering af et desktop scanning elektronmikroskop (SEM) til en maksimal totalværdi på 130.000 EUR. SEM'et skal bruges til topografisk billeddannelse og kemisk analyse af metallografiske prøver, primært ikke-ledende mekanisk polerede epoxyforme med tværsnitskomponenter og samlinger af elektronik. Det forventes, at SEM'et er kompakt, robust, stabilt, klar til at køre 24/7 uden avanceret vedligeholdelse og let at betjene efter kort træning. Carl Zeiss A/S har tidligere haft lignende kontrakter.

      Laboratorie-, optisk- og presisjonsutstyr

      Scanning electron microscope for imaging and quantitative analysis in geological samples

      ETH Zürich - Abt. Procurement & Export Services needs a new scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with a field emission gun, secondary electrons detector (SE) and high-performance backscattered electron detectors (BSE), and a state-of-the-art large area (≥ 100 mm2) energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) for imaging and quantitative analysis in geological samples. The instrument should have a large chamber to allow a minimum of 3 petrographic thin sections and 6 one-inch epoxy round mounts, and be programmable for automated quantitative EDS analyses lasting over 24 hours. The main goal is to provide precise and accurate quantitative analyses by EDS using a rigorous quantification protocol. The delivery location is Zürich. Offers for panchromatic and/or entry-level monochromatic cathodoluminescence detectors are also welcome. The award criteria are based on quality.
