The JXA-8530F utilizes a field emission (FE) electron gun that makes it possible to perform elemental analyses of solid surfaces down to ultra-micro-areas (40 nm) at a probe current of only 10 nA. The JXA-8530F also offers an improved electron optical and evacuation systems to take advantage of the FE gun. These improvements, over conventional filament electron sources, generate a smaller probe diameter at lower accelerating voltages allowing the JXA-8530F to make quantitative analyses at much higher resolution than any other microprobe. The analytical and imaging specifications of the JXA-8500F are shown in the table below. Please contact us with any questions regarding sample analysis.
