The SU3800 and SU3900 from Hitachi are powerful and versatile thermionic emitter variable pressure SEMs. The extra-large stage and chamber of the SU3900 make it best suited for the study of large, heavy, or multiple specimens.
Imaging Performance
- Excellent low voltage performance to uncover additional fine structure
- Quick and sensitive detectors simply offer surface detail, morphology, crystallography, and composition
- Users can image wet or hydrated samples with the help of Hitachi’s patented ionic liquid or cold stage
High-Performance Microanalysis
- Users can select from completely built-in EDS from Oxford Instruments or a flexible choice of WDS/EBSD/EDS from any manufacturer
- Several ports are available for analytical detectors, single or multiple CL, WDS, EBSD, or EDS
Easily Handle and Navigate any Sample
- Load samples measuring up to 130 mm in height and 300 mm in diameter with all five axes functional
- Carry out dynamic experiments in-situ with tensile, cooling, heating, or probing sub-stages
- Users never get lost: Simple and safe navigation on the sample using the color navigation camera
Advanced Automation
- Analyze wide areas with image stitching
- EM-Macro scripting or recording interface enables repetitive or complex processes to be automated
- Automated particle analysis provided for fibers, inclusions, asbestos, and technical cleanliness
Future Proof
- 3D surface metrology provided with depth/angle/roughness measurement
- Combined cathodoluminescence (CL) for more information from pharmaceuticals, photonics, or minerals
