Comments
  • The Philips XL-30 ESEM is a flexible scanning electron microscope with a large chamber. It can be used for conventional high vacuum imaging, or in the environmental mode, can be used to examine wet, oily, gassy or non-conducting samples. Samples can be examined in an atmosphere of up to 10 torr of water vapour, oxygen, nitrogen carbon dioxide or any other non-corrosice gas.
