Technical knowledge transfer at the COXEM workshop 

Our service technician André recently took part in an intensive technical workshop at COXEM to expand and update his expertise in tabletop scanning electron microscopes (SEM).

The training focused on practical topics from the areas of system optimisation, fault diagnosis and current software developments. The main topics included

• Optimisation of image quality through targeted settings of acceleration voltage, beam current, detector parameters and image processing.
• Systematic troubleshooting for vacuum problems, electrical faults and signal deviations.
• Introduction to new software functions and the latest system updates for improved analysis and operability.
• Deepening technical understanding of the system, such as the electron source, detector paths and signal processing - as a basis for more efficient maintenance and repair.
• Application of the Ion Beam Polisher for artefact-free sample preparation of sensitive or complex materials.

We would like to thank Coxem Co, Ltd. for the intensive technical exchange, the practice-oriented communication and the many years of co-operation.
