Technical
Details |
| Spectrometer: 4 WDS (3 J-Type,
1 H-Type) 1 EDS for analysis of light elements Available Crystals: LDE1, LDEB, LDEC, 2xTAP,2x PET, 1xLIF, 1xLIFH, 1xPETH Cathodoluminescence device Acceleration voltage: 0.2 bis 40 kV Magnification: 40x to 300.000x Stage speed: max. 5 mm/s Probe Current: 10-12 bis 10-5 A Current Stability: 1x10-3/h (W-electron gun) Detectable elements range from 4Be to 92U The microprobe is equipped with four wavelength-dispersive spectrometers which have two changeable analysator crystals each. A Link energy dispersive sepectrometer is also attached to the system. Elements from atomic number 9 (Flourine) can be analysed. |
| Applications |
| Main application of
the electron microprobe is the rapid, non-destructive chemical analysis
of minerals (and rocks). Composition of minerals and/or rocks play a
key role in geosciences and can provide fundamental physical and
chemical insights of rock genesis. Thus, since about 1960 the electron
microprobe is a standard technique for in-situ quantitative major- and
minor element analysis of solid samples. |
