MICRO METROLOGY | CASE STUDY
Dr Clipsham continued: "Elemental mapping within a sample, analysed in the SEM by measuring the energy and intensity distribution of X-ray signals generated by focusing an electron beam on the specimen surface, yields a wealth of information that was previously unavailable to us using optical inspection. Materials development and structure tailoring is much easier as a result."
Other applications for the SEM The JCM-6000 is currently playing an active role in both the development of new ceramic materials at the Innovation Hub and in on-going improvement projects. The instrument's user-friendly software has enabled Morgan to extend the use of this analytical equipment to a broader range of its operations.
Dr Clipsham stated: "Our quality and production engineers are finding new uses for the equipment all the time and now that the microscope is in place, we would all find it very difficult to do without it."

Moreover, due to the SEM's charge reduction mode and large chamber, oxide ceramic materials can be analysed with less sample preparation compared to that required for research-level SEM systems, as there is no need to apply conductive coatings or to section the components to obtain essential information concerning components' surface features or chemical composition.
