Advanced Microscopy Lab

Advanced Microscopy Lab

This lab has a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) to provide high-resolution images of surface topography and elemental analysis of various materials on a nanoscale.

Equipment Usability

• Scanning Electron Microscopy
  Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) gives information on the coated surface microstructure, photocatalyst distribution on the substrate surface, homogeneity, and morphology of particles in the coating.
• Sputter Coater
  Sputter coating is a physical vapor deposition process used to apply a skinny, functional coating on a substrate
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
  An uninterruptible power supply (UPS), also known as a battery backup, provides backup power when your regular power source fails or voltage drops to an unacceptable level. A UPS allows for a computer’s and connected equipment’s safe, orderly shutdown.
