Coxem has introduced a new model of its compact ion mill CP-8000+. The device supports the standard cutting (“cross-sectioning”) and polishing (“flat milling”) modalities and can be operated intuitively via the integrated touchscreen.
A year and a half ago we installed a Coxem EM-30N at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (HNEE). This mosaic shows a 3-point bending fracture in a deformed wood sample. With the standard integrated panorama module from Coxem, 169 individual images of a microtome section of the fracture site were collected at 200x magnification with the secondary electron detector and automatically stitched.
We supported Bruker Nano in the world's first commissioning of a compact EBSD system on our Coxem Tabletop SEM-EDX. The installation went smoothly and after one hour we were able to record the first EBSD mappings ‒ Important step for the market introduction of the EBSD technology for SEM-EDX tabletop devices.
Coxem recently presented a new backscattered electron detector (BE) for their SEM-EDX systems, which impresses with its excellent sensitivity. The new BE detector is particularly interesting for applications that benefit from a high contrast of the atomic number Z.
Researchers from Bremen provided us with this interesting sample of volcanic ash, which we analyzed with our Coxem Tabletop SEM-EDX. In addition to the spongy structure of the fine ash particles typical of volcanic eruptions, we identified various microfossils, so-called diatoms.
Employees from the wood engineering department (Abteilung Holzingenieurwesen) sent us an aged wood sample with a typical discoloration. Using our Coxem scanning electron microscope, we imaged the microstructure in high resolution and performed an elemental analysis of the discoloration.
In response to many requests from our customers, we have developed a guide to help buyers choose a suitable system with practical advice and technical information.
The Korean company Coxem has developed economical tabletop devices for SEM-EDX analysis that impress with excellent resolution. This new product series is now also available in Germany via RJL Micro & Analytic. Customers benefit from our proven support and technical service.
