  1. Brand Model: Hitachi SU-8010
  2. Purchase period: October 2013
  3. Place of placement: Laboratory, Room 212, 2nd Floor, Engineering Building 6, Guanfu Campus (TEL: 55337) 
  4. Function:
    • Electron Microscope Observation (SEM): High-magnification magnification to observe the microstructure or cross-sectional structure of components, films, etc.
    • Surface energy level analysis (EDS): electron energy level spectrum analysis of surface material composition at a specific location to determine the composition of surface material or pollution
    • Pre-treatment of test piece: newly purchased ion mill, with section grinding & surface grinding function, to help make the surface of the test piece smoother and facilitate SEM observation
  5. Important specs:
    • Electron source: cold cathode electron gun
    • Operating voltage: 0.1kV~30kV
    • Specimen size: 50mm diameter x 50mm diameter
    • Resolution: 10A° (at 15kV) or 13A° (at 1kV)
    • The magnification is 20 times to 800,000 times (depending on the test piece itself)
    • Secondary electron resolution 1.0nm (under 15kV)
    • EDS can provide full spectrum qualitative analysis (Be4~U92), semi-quantitative analysis and element distribution map
    • Gas used in the ion mill: Argon (Ar)
    • Profile grinding range X: ≥ 7mm Y: ≥ 3mm
    • Surface grinding speed: 0°: ≥2μm/hr 60°: ≥20μm/hr
