The main purpose of the specified electron microscope is to conduct research on various objects, where it is necessary to obtain images (mostly) of the surface with high resolution, as well as information about the chemical composition, structure and some other properties.
The issue of re-equipment of the CCUEM with a new generation scanning electron microscope (SEM) is urgent, since the JSM-6060 LA SEM available in the center is running out of resources, does not function due to the failure of a specific computer that is responsible for the operation and control of the device. Based on the marketing analysis, the most acceptable version of the latest SEM, which would provide a level that meets international standards, could be the JSM-IT700 HR model from JEOL, Tokyo, Japan, costing 600 thousand US dollars (545 thousand EUR). However, the representation of the central office of the Geol company is inclined to the opinion that the supply of the device may be problematic at the moment due to the armed Russian aggression against Ukraine. Alternative models of SEM with similar technical characteristics could be considered Quattro ESEM devices manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific, Sigma 500 by ZEISS with a cost of 650 thousand US dollars (590 thousand EUR), a commercial offer for one of which, if necessary, will be provided.
