USC has funded the purchase of three new SEMs, to be be housed in the CEMMA building, which will be refurbished this spring. 

Instruments:
Workhorse JSM-6490

Ultra-high resolution JSM-7001 field emission gun instrument

Multibeam JIB-4500 with a focussed ion-beam for micro-milling as well as SEM. 

 

The JSM-6490 and JSM-7001 are both equipped for low-vacuum operation, for work on biological and environmental (i.e., wet) samples.

The equipment will be open to all USC users, at reasonably competitive rates. For further info, go to http://www.usc.edu/dept/CEMMA/
