Self-focusing SIMS is a new technique for measuring the composition of semiconductors and SiGE devices. It’s ten times faster than studying nanometre-scale features directly with methods such as TEM or APT.
ColourSEM technology from Thermo Scientific combines SEM and EDS for easy-to-interpret elemental information, displayed live in colour on your SEM images. It’s fully integrated and always on, highlighting features on your sample that may otherwise be unnoticed. Blue Scientific is the official industrial distributor for the Thermo Scientific Axia ChemiSEM in the UK and Ireland. For […]
We’re proud to announce a new partnership with Thermo Fisher Scientific as official distributor of the Axia ChemiSEM scanning electron microscope in the UK and Ireland.
TXRF trace element analysis was used to analyse essential nutrient deficiencies in COVID-19 patients, suggesting that zinc and selenium supplementation may support recovery.
How researchers at Tohoku University used SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) in lithium battery research, to measure the lithium diffusion coefficient.
A new Scanning Electrochemistry option is available for the Bruker JPK NanoWizard BioAFM series. AFM-based SECM is used for electrochemical mapping at nanoscale resolution.
How to get better EBSD results by using ion milling to prepare samples, with the example of how to remove oxide layers from alloys
Phase retrieval imaging (phase contrast) is a new image processing feature in Bruker’s NRecon 2.0 micro-CT reconstruction software for removing bright edges and enhancing contrast.
The Gatan Stela hybrid-pixel camera is a complete system for 4D STEM (4D Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy).
