Hitachi SU-70 Description

The Hitachi SU-70 is a high resolution field emission scanning electron microscope capable of high resolution imaging (1.0nm at 15kV) and in-depth sample analysis in both low and high mag. modes.

The Hitachi SU-70 is one of the highest resolution microscopes available on the market and features several specialised in-lens detectors in addition to STEM (Scanning TEM) and EDX/WDX (Energy Dispersive X-Ray analysis and Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray analysis) capability. These analytical components provide complementary information in terms of elemental analysis, compositional point analysis and mapping. The SU 70 also allows reduced charge-up imaging and low voltage imaging.
