High-Temperature BSE detector

Four-quadrants BSE detector for high-temperature applications

Benefits

  • Map changes in atomic number/Z-contrast across the sample
  • Reveal grains of different orientations
  • Distinguish between materials and topographic contrast
  • Identify features for advanced analytical techniques
  • Produce colour images by mixing multiple signals
  • Measure height with the optional topographic reconstruction

Features

  • In situ preamplification for minimum noise and maximum speed
  • Simultaneous four channels for topographic/compositional contrast
