[sudo-discuss] [CCL] Free Scanning Electron Microscope in Pleasanton! (was Fwd: [Microscopy] viaWWW:SMI3200 FIB system looking for a good home)

Wed Jul 1 14:03:24 PDT 2015

I would definitely be interested in any scouting expedition. 

Having access to an SEM is extremely enticing, 
but in addition to the space issue, there are some others: 
Power - does it want 240V or 3-phase? 
Does it expect a low vacuum connection along with its internal high vacuum systems? 
Maintaining the electronics is probably quite manageable, but I worry about the vacuum systems. 

Beam Services is a broker for lots of semiconductor equipment all over. 
It this unit really in Pleasanton? 
This sounds like a unit originally used for semiconductor work. 
What adaptations or additions would be required for more bio applications?

Here's some images of the Seiko SMI 3200 Scanning Electron Microscope that is in need of a new home:

Note that this is NOT a small system! It's not huge as SEM's go, but definitely not desktop - more like "small room sized". And it would obviously need some dedicated person to keep it in good running condition. It is however almost brand new, and currently *running*, at <5nm resolution! 

Beam Services Inc is down in Pleasanton, so I guess interested parties could potentially go and have a look at the system. This kind of equipment would be a significant commitment and investment in time and effort on our part, so let's coordinate on this shall we?

Useful for micro and nano imaging, as well as micro and nano milling 
and deposition (if it has a gas injector system).
