Name:
Scanning Auger Microprobe
Producer:
Thermo Electron
Model:
Microlab 350
Research group:
Laboratory of Surface Analysis
Description:

The Thermo Electron Microlab 350 microanalyzer is designed to study the chemical composition of surfaces of solids with guaranteed analysis parameters, allowing examination of objects with a width of several dozen nanometres and a thickness of several atomic monolayers (~ 1 nm) characteristic of Auger electron spectrometry. The device enables, among others, the visualization of the surface and linear decomposition of elements and profiling of their concentrations into the material with a resolution of 0.5-1 nm and an analytical sensitivity of the order of fractions of atomic %. The spectrometer is additionally equipped with an X-ray gun without monochromator, which allows XPS measurements .
