About

The University of Manchester awarded a contract to JEOL UK LTD for the replacement of a Cameca SX-100 Electron Probe Micro-Analyser with a state-of-the-art Field Emission Gun-equipped Electron Probe Micro-Analyser (FEG-EPMA).

The new instrument will provide significantly higher spatial resolution and enhanced quantitative capabilities through complete integration of wavelength and energy dispersive spectrometers, as well as enhanced low energy (<400 eV) and light element emission detection for elements down to boron (Z=5), with simultaneous detection of low energy X-ray emissions for chemical state investigations requiring spectral resolution of <5 eV.

The project was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council and the instrument is intended to be housed in the electron microscopy facility in the Nancy Rothwell Building, University of Manchester, subject to vendor site surveys.
