Facility Features, Working Principle and Specifications

Features Working Principle

Features:

Resolution: Point : 2.0 Angstrom  

                   Line : 1.0 Angstrom

Accelerating Voltage: 300 kV 
Magnification Range: 58 x to 1 Million x 

 Accessories

•       EDS : EDAX with Octane ELITE T Super

•       STEM : on axis BF/DF & HAADF detector

•       EELS with GIF (Gatan Image Filter)

 

Working Principle:

 Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is a technique in which a beam of high energy electrons is transmitted through a very thin specimen to form an image which reveals the information about morphology and crystallography. FEG-TEM can go upto atomic scale resolution to view the atomic arrangement of the material.

Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) in which the electron beam is focused to a fine spot to scan in the raster pattern across the specimen and is suitable for analytical techniques such as Z-contrast, annular dark-field imaging, and spectroscopic mapping for chemical composition by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and as well as Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS). These signals can be obtained simultaneously, allowing direct correlation of images and spectroscopic data.

Instructions for Registration, Sample Preparation, User Instructions and Precautionary Measures

Instructions for Registration

External Users (other than IIT Bombay):

1. Users must generate a registration request via the online portal. A requisition letter addressed to Head, SAIF along with a printout of electronic fund transfer (NEFT) proof should be sent by post or submitted in person to SAIF office, IIT Bombay, Powai, Mumbai-400076.

 2. Once your requisition letter along with the payment proof is received by the SAIF office, your appointment will be scheduled as per the queue.

 3. The user will be informed about the appointment date and time by e-mail.

 4. The sample can be loaded on a carbon coated copper grid or can be made in disc form, 3mm diameter, with a thinned (electron transparency) central area.

 5. It is desirable that the user is present in the TEM lab at the time of the appointment for better utilization of the facility.

 6. Before proceeding further, please review How to Use Facility and Payment Procedure for more information.

 Internal (IIT Bombay) Users:

1. The user should register online.

2. An appointment will be given as per the queue and the user will be informed by an email.

3. The new user is requested to contact 300kV FEG-TEM Lab before registration.

 

Instruction for Sample Preparation
  • The user has to collect TEM grids from the 300kV FEG TEM lab.
  • The user has to come for analysis with a prepared sample on the TEM grid.
  • The samples should be prepared on TEM grids of 3mm size and sample thickness should be 50- 100 nm for analysis.
  • Any query related to your 300kV FEG-TEM analysis can be emailed to fegtem300@iitb.ac.in.
  • The samples should be dry and should withstand ultra-high vacuum
User Instructions and Precautionary Measures

We prefer you or your representative who knows and understands the sample should be present on the day of appointment.

Sample preparation if any should be done at the user end only.
