The new FNF SEM-FIB laboratory is ready!
The room houses the Leo 1540XB cross-beam, SEM with Gemini column (acc. volt. 0.5-30 KV) and Orsay Physics Ga-ion FIB column. The system, integrated with the Quorum cryo stage (https://fnf.iom.cnr.it/new-cryostage-has-been-installed-cross-beam-fnf-l...), will also allow the investigation of biological samples and polymers, increasing the range of use of SEM and FIB.
Completing the laboratory are a Critical Point Drier (Tousimis Sandri-PVT-3D) for controlled dehydration of the samples, a sputter coater Au-Pd(Polaron sc7620) for metallization and a laminar flow hood (Bio-Air Aura) for mounting the samples in a clean environment.
