Hitachi S-4500 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope

Hitachi S-4500

The S-4500 is a cold field emission SEM with advanced high resolution imaging at low voltage operation (capable of <1 kV), digital image processing, versatile sample chamber and stage design, and thoroughly computer controlled electronics.

The S-4500 has an objective lens and secondary electron detector design which provides excellent imaging resolution, particularly in low voltage operation. The S-4500 has a built-in recursive frame memory which enhances signal to noise ratio and permits crystal clear images on CRT monitors at flicker-free TV-scan rates. This facilitates field selection, focusing, and astigmatism correction.
