FEI Nova NanoSEM 450, Physics 305

The FEI Nova NanoSEM 450 is a modern field-emission scanning electron microscope with 1 nm ultimate resolution, large sample chamber with advanced motorized stage, and navigation supported by an in-chamber camera. High- and low-vacuum operations are possible. The system also includes EDS capability (Oxford Aztec). The purchase of the system was funded by NSF MRI grant number DMR_1337727.
