JSM-IT810 released, a new Field Emission SEM

Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopes (FE-SEM) are widely used in science and technology fields such as research institutes, universities, and industry. There is a growing demand for an instrument that can be used easily, accurately, quickly, and efficiently from observation to analysis.
The JSM-IT810 adds the "Neo Action" automatic observation and analysis function and automatic calibration function to the JSM-IT800, which is equipped with the next-generation electron optical control system “Neo Engine” and the "SEM Center" for high operability such as Zeromag and EDS integration, to not only improve efficiency and productivity but also help solve labor shortages.

Main Features
1. Automatic Observation and Analysis Function "Neo Action"
All you need to do is select the SEM image acquisition conditions and field of view, and the function automatically performs SEM observation and EDS (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy) analysis. This function contributes to improving the efficiency of routine work including analysis work.

2. Automatic Calibration Function "SEM Automatic Adjustment Package"
This function enables automatic execution of the selected items in alignment adjustment, magnification adjustment, and EDS energy calibration.

3. "Live Function"
This function is capable of Live 3D, Live Analysis, and Live Map functions. 3D images can be constructed on the spot while an SEM observation is being performed to obtain unevenness and depth information. In addition, it helps always display characteristic X-ray spectrum and elemental mapping.

4. EDS Integration
Observation by an SEM and analysis by an EDS are integrated. Analysis of point, area, and MAP can be performed from the observation screen. Incorporation of the Windowless EDS-Gather-X enables detection from Li and analysis at a high sensitivity and high spatial resolution.

JEOL released the JSM-IT800 FE-SEM

JEOL has released the JSM-IT800 FE-SEM, the most powerful SEM to date, guaranteeing a resolution of 0.5nm @ 15kV and 0.9nm at 500V.

The JSM-IT800 incorporates our In-lens Schottky Plus field emission electron gun for high resolution imaging to fast elemental mapping, and an innovative electron optical control system "Neo Engine", as well as a seamless GUI "SEM Center" for full integration of a JEOL energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). Furthermore, the JSM-IT800 allows for two types of objective lens configurations, offering different versions to satisfy various users requirements.

The two versions of the JSM-IT800 include the Hybrid Lens (HL) version for a general-purpose SEM and the Super Hybrid Lens (SHL) version for enhanced high resolution observation and various analyses. In addition, the JSM-IT800 of the SHL version comes with a new Upper Hybrid Detector (UHD) to acquire higher signal-to-noise ratio images for the study of fine structures of specimens.

The JSM-IT800 can also be equipped with a new Scintillator Backscattered Electron Detector (SBED) and a Versatile Backscattered Electron Detector (VBED). The SBED enables acquisition of images with high responsiveness and produces sharp material contrast even at low accelerating voltage. The VBED can acquire 3D-, topographic-, and material-contrast images.

JEOL released the JCM-7000 Benchtop SEM

The JCM-7000 Benchtop Scanning Electron Microscope is designed based on a key concept of "Easy-to-use SEM with seamless navigation and live analysis". When you place the JCM-7000 next to an optical microscope, further-faster and more-detailed foreign material analysis and quality control can be made.

Main Features:

With our "Zeromag" function, sample navigation is even easier than ever before. "Zeromag" which links the CCD image with color information with the SEM image on surface details, enables you to quickly locate areas for imaging and analysis.

With the aid of a 2-axis (X, Y) motorized stage, work efficiency is enhanced and montage images can easily be collected for a large specimen area.

With our Analytical series ("Live Analysis" function), the embedded EDS system shows a real time EDS spectrum during image observation for quick and efficient elemental analysis.

A new "Live 3D" function enables simultaneous observation of a live SEM image and a reconstructed live 3D surface image, together with acquisition of topographic and depth information.

New software for SEM Asbestos Analysis

Application Note: Frame Step Analyzer for Asbestos analysis.

We have released a software module for JEOL SEMs to assist the operator with asbestos analysis.

The operator can program any number of fields to be viewed, and with one press of a button the microscope can move to the next field.

When an asbestos fiber has been found and identified, it can be registered in a table, which can be saved as a report.

JEOL is releasing new triple quadrupole mass spectrometer

JEOL Ltd. (President Gon-emon Kurihara) announces the release of new Gas Chromatograph(GC) -  triple quadrupole mass spectrometer system, JMS-TQ4000GC on August, 2018.

JMS-TQ4000GC is a GC-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer system with both capabilities of high throughput and high sensitivity based on the unique “Short collision cell technology”. Those capabilities can improve the productivity for routine analysis such as residual pesticides analysis in agricultural materials or monitoring of trace amount of chemicals regulated by tap water quality standard and environmental criteria in each region or country.

It is expected that JMS-TQ4000GC would contribute to expand JEOL’s market share of not only GC-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer but also GC-single quadrupole mass spectrometer or GC –time-of-flight mass spectrometer.

[Main Features]

1.   Short collision cell technology enables high speed data acquisition without crosstalk

JMS-TQ4000GC can achieve the fastest SRM (Selected Reaction Monitor) switching speed in the industry at 1,000 channels/sec. Moreover, even at the fast SRM it can eliminate ion interaction among SRM channels (crosstalk) and makes it possible to analyze multi-target compounds with high accuracies.

2.   High sensitivity achieved with ion accumulation and pulsed ion ejection at short collision cell

Short collision cell has both capabilities of ion accumulation and pulsed ion ejection. Noise level of signal can be reduced as much as possible by acquire data only when an ion pulse arrives at the detector. The noise reduction leads to high sensitivity.

3.   Simple operation for data acquisition and analysis with a combination of pre-installed SRM condition file and multi-target quantitative analysis software.

The “peak dependent SRM” system automatically creates the optimized measurement condition when the target pesticides are selected from the pre-installed SRM condition files. After measurement, the multi-target quantitative analysis software “Escrime” analyzes the data and creates the analysis reports according to the report format template selected in advance. In addition, the unique functionalities of “Escrime” such as “Slide show for chromatographic peaks check” and “Across-the-board manual peak integration” make the data verification easier and faster.

[Main Specification]

Measurement modes : Scan, SIM, Scan&SIM, SRM, Product-ion scan, Neutral loss scan, Precursor-ion scan, Scan&SRM

m/z range : 4~1,022

SRM speed : 1,000 channels/sec
