FIB/SEM - FEI Helios G4 PFIB CXe dual beam - Status: Available
|
*ANALYSIS OF RADIOACTIVE SPECIMENS WITH THIS INSTRUMENT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED*
The FEI Helios G4 PFIB CXe DualBeam system integrates focused ion and scanning electron beams for FIB and SEM functionality in one instrument. Instrument Specifications: Zoom workshop on dual beam FIB/SEM tips, tricks, and other useful info (recorded 11/19/21) EBSD Tutorial using EDAX Velocity EBSD camera and TEAM PFIB lamella prep tutorial TRAINING REQUIREMENTS: 1. Please create an RSC user account with a PI-approved funding source. 2. Please complete RSC general safety training. 3. Please complete the FIB Knowledge Training course through eLearning; submit a training request using the "Training" link at the bottom of the page and follow the instructions to be added to the course; you must complete this course regardless of any prior coursework or operational experience related to SEM or FIB you may have. Latest Status Log EntrySep 20, 2023 - User Note: Did some test Pt depositions with the I-beam at 12 kV; recommend targeting ~5 pA/um^2 current density; gives a nice, smooth Pt strap |
