Tabletop scanning electron microscope

Japan Electronics Co., Ltd. Model No.: JCM-600

summary 

A microscope is used to investigate the cause of damage to chains, fittings, etc. It is estimated by macro fracture surface analysis derived from visual observation or observation with a magnifying glass, and a scanning electron microscope that can observe in nanometer units is used to observe the micro fracture surface and provide proof.。
In addition, it is also possible to investigate the type and content of elements contained in the sample by EDS (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy).

feature
