The Hitachi S 4160 is a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) introduced in 1996.[1]
What it is
The Hitachi S 4160 is a field emission scanning electron microscope manufactured by Hitachi.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe electron probe is scanned across the sample in a raster pattern by deflection coils. The interaction of the electron beam with the sample produces various signals, such as secondary electrons, which are collected by a detector to form an image. The depth of field and resolution are superior to light microscopes.
