TEM (JEOL)
(Transmission Electron Microscope)
Used for observation of CNT/graphene in an atomic resolution, it is also possible to observe in-situ field emission of CNTs.
TEM (FEI)
(Transmission Electron Microscope)
Used for high resolution observation of CNT/graphene.
E-SEM (FEI)
(Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope)
Mainly used for CNT/graphene manipulation under SEM observation.
FEM (home made)
(Field Emission Microscope)
Used for observation of CNT tip structure, it can investigate effects of gas molecules and metal deposits to the CNT field emissions.
FEM/FIM (home made)
(Field Emission Microscope/Field Ion Microscope)
This apparatus has a function to observe a CNT tip in atomic resolution in addition to FEM function.
