The School of Earth & Environment’s Electron Optics Facility forms part of the Leeds Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy Centre. In addition to SEMs, TEMs and a FIB, we offer access (including full training and support) to our JEOL JXA8230 Electron Probe Microanalyser (EPMA). The instrument is equipped with 1x EDS, 5 x WDS spectrometers and “Probe for EPMA” advanced microanalytical software.
- Secondary electron imaging
