Description : A Scanning Electron Microscope (JSM 6490) scans is a focused electron beam over a surface to create an image. The electrons in the beam interact with the sample and produce various signals that is used to obtain information about the surface topography and composition. It can be use both under low & high vacuums that depending on the nature of the specimens. Low vacuum with low kV (energy) provides the user the longer duration for scanning the materials, organic specimens, before it is charged. The instrument has been coupled with an optional accessory, viz., EDS 133, EV Dry Detector (INCA x-act) of OXFORD instruments, UK, which has enhanced the application range in a manner that any metal associated with the biological material or in isolation or in the form of alloy may be identified and also quantified. The sample preparation for SEM facility has also been supported with the two important units, viz., Sputter Coater of JEOL, Japan (JFC 1600, Auto Fine Coater) and Critical Point Drye
