Laboratory of microprobe analysis
Laboratory is equipped with electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) with field emission gun (FEG) electron source JXA-8530F by Jeol. It is equipped by 5 wave dispersive spectrometers (WDS) allowing quantitative microanalysis of elements in range from Be to U. Furthermore it is equipped by secondary electron detector (SE), back-scattered electron detector (BSE), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), cathodoluminescence detector (CL) and integrated CL spectrometry system xCLent.
The link "Booking" leads to an application allowing to book dates at the EPMA laboratory. The system allows to book the whole day only. The analytical works take place from 9 AM to 5 PM, the time after 5 PM is supposed for analyses running in automatical mode. It is possible to book dates up to 4 weeks in advance. The nearest unblocked date is 5 days in advance. Bookings of earlier dates or specific requests (e.g. booking for a part of an day) should be arranged after contacting of an operator. After submitting of your booking, you will recieve an automatical confirmation. In the case of any changes, you will be contacted by an operator.
