- News
The Hitachi SU7000 at the Centre for Advanced Microscopy (CAM), Australian National University (ANU), represents a major addition to the centre’s microanalysis and imaging capabilities. This advanced scanning electron microscope delivers high-resolution imaging and comprehensive microanalytical functionality within a single, versatile platform, supporting a wide range of research applications across both the physical and life sciences.
- Application
Cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging is especially valuable for zircon as it reveals internal zoning, growth structures and compositional variations that are not visible in conventional SEM imaging using backscattered or secondary electrons.
- Application
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is essential for analysing PTFE as its performance is influenced by surface morphology and microstructural features that require high-resolution imaging.
