Protochips (protochips.com) will be installing their Aduro hot stage in our UltraPlus SEM during the week of December 14. This is originally designed for a TEM but it is also configured for SEMs. Samples need to be small (0.5 mm square by µm’s thick preferably). The ideal sample is probably best prepared by a FIB. We intend to use it primarily for EBSD work at high temperature, but it doesn’t have to be.
If you have an interest in using this while it is here, and to learn more, contact John Porter.
