With the addition of a fourth-generation tabletop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Able’s state-of-the-art suite of analytic tools continues to grow to meet the requirements of high quality finishing for increasingly sophisticated metal parts.
The JCM-7000 NeoScope Benchtop SEM brings a level of precision to surface and elemental analysis that can provide clients with an in-depth understanding of both surface defects and the impact electropolishing can have.
In-house Part Analysis and Reporting for Unmatched Finishing Results
The JCM-7000 NeoScope provides a smart, flexible, and powerful platform for a range of applications from measurement and analysis of surface defects to elemental analysis, as part of Able Electropolishing’s in-house analytic, testing and reporting capabilities.
With part magnification up to 100,000X using a high-resolution W filament source and a combination of secondary and backscatter electron (BSE) detectors alongside high and low vacuum modes, the JCM-7000 can analyze a wide range of sample types and sizes. Automated montage allows for high-resolution imaging over larger areas, and the built-in BSE detector supports live 3D imaging, offering a more intuitive understanding of surface characteristics.
Live Analysis & Rapid Results
The JCM-7000’s energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) enables real-time observation and immediate feedback on material composition, such as iron or chromium content, for quick identification of surface contaminants or embedded particles in the part’s surface.
The JCM-7000 NeoScope can also provide “before and after” imagery, offering clients a detailed picture of surface defects and anomalies at various stages of the process and can serve to validate specifications and results.
