The Application of GPGPU to Automatic Electron Gun Alignment in the Scanning Electron Microscope
نویسندگان
چکیده
Once trained, the human brain is an excellent image processor; to replicate that skill for scanning electron microscope (SEM) image assessment demands considerable computing power. We have evaluated parallel computing for this purpose and developed an image processing tool for the automatic optimisation of electron gun alignment. The instrumental setup for this work was a Carl Zeiss 1430VP SEM with tungsten thermal-emission firing unit.

Optimising the Performance of a Tungsten Hairpin Scanning Electron Microscope
With many scanning electron microscope operators using their instruments based upon training given during the initial installation, information is being lost or misunderstood. Modern techniques may in many cases be applied to the older tungsten hairpin instruments. These actions enable the operators to obtain far more information and a better understanding of their specimen, both of its surface...
متن کاملNanotip electron gun for the scanning electron microscope.
Experimental nanotips have shown significant improvement in the resolution performance of a cold field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM). Nanotip electron sources are very sharp electron emitter tips used as a replacement for the conventional tungsten field emission (FE) electron sources. Nanotips offer higher brightness and smaller electron source size. An electron microscope equippe...
متن کاملNano-dot markers for electron tomography formed by electron beam-induced deposition: nanoparticle agglomerates application.
A method allowing fabrication of nano-dot markers for electron tomography was developed using an electron beam-induced deposition in an ordinary dual beam instrument (FIB and SEM) or an SEM. The electron beam deposited nano-dot markers are suitable for automatic alignment of tomographic series. The accuracy of the alignment was evaluated and the method was demonstrated on agglomerated nanoparti...

Histopathological effects of different sublethal concentrations (1, 2 and 4 mg/l) of diazinon, an organophosphorus pesticide, on gill, liver, spleen and kidney of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were studied after 1, 7, 15, 30 and 45 days post-exposing fishes weighting 850 ± 155 g to the toxicant for 12 hours at 18-22ºC. In addition, tissues of nostril were examined for transmission electr...
