3022/JN - Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with Microanalysis Capability

The University of Sheffield's Department of Materials Science and Engineering with funding from the EPSRC are looking to procure a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The required SEM will provide an underpinning multi-user environment with which to perform high throughput electron beam imaging to nm resolution with an ability for simultaneous X-ray compositional analysis (EDS) of a broad range of materials. These materials include, but not restricted to, metals, ceramics, polymers/biomaterials and glasses. The instrument must include the ability to image non-conducting or beam sensitive materials though variable accelerating voltage and pressure modes. An overarching requirement is the instrument will offer a modern accessible interface for ease of use, particularly for neurodiverse users. Potential suppliers should note that the instrument may be utilised for imaging and analysis of low activity radioactive specimens, containing uranium or thorium, primarily as solid samples.
