Scanning Electron Microscope Services

Vista Engineering operates a Hitachi SEM with Oxford EDS for high-resolution elemental and morphological analysis of engineering materials.

Applications

  • Identify failure modes such as fatigue, stress cracking, and hydrogen embrittlement
  • Identify and evaluate the crystalline structure of materials
  • Evaluate and photograph surfaces, particles, defects, and structures at magnifications to 300,000X
  • Measure the chemical composition of items being examined

Equipment Features

  • Unique VP-mode allowing microscopy of wet, oily, and non-conductive samples without conventional sample preparation
  • Resolution: 3.0nm High Vacuum Mode / 4.0nm Variable Pressure Mode
  • Chamber accommodates 10 inch specimen
  • Fully eucentric 5-axis computer controlled motorized stage
  • Chemical analysis with Oxford Research X-Max Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS)

Calibration

The microscope is calibrated and undergoes regular maintenance from Hitachi, ensuring the highest accuracy in all analyses.
