Introduction

Quality resolution standards are essential tools for obtaining optimum resolution, settings, beam size and astigmatism correction on SEM, CD-SEMs, FESEMs, FIB, Microprobe, Auger and SIMS systems. The industry standards are:

- Gold particles on a carbon substrate
- Tin spheres on a carbon substrate.

Gold particles on carbon have rich features and provide excellent signal strength for secundary electron (SE) imaging. They are equally suitable for low voltage backscatter electron (BSE) imaging. The nearly perfect round tin spheres have an easy to recognize shape and can be used where gold is not tolerated. Multiple particle sizes are offered for different imaging applications. The carbon substrates are all 6mm in diameter and 2mm in height.

Ordering information for EM-Tec gold on carbon resolution standards

Gold on carbon resolution test standard with gold particles on a carbon substrate. The gold particles size ranges from 5-200nm. The carbon substrate is 6mm diameter with 2mm height. Gold provides excellent SE signal whereas the dark carbon background separates the individual gold particles. Feature rich gold particles are ideal for resolution testing on standard SEMs. Use with a magnification of 15,000x or higher. Ideally suited to correct distortion, astigmatism and image shift and to adjust for correct focus, beam size, contrast and brightness. This resolution standard has a square mesh grid pattern to facilitate locating and positioning.

Available unmounted or mounted on the most popular SEM stubs. If you work with multiple SEM platforms, look at our SEM stub adapter page. The SEM stub adapters enable you to use a single resolution standard on all SEMs. (More images)

# AU-31-021200   EM-Tec Au on C resolution standard 2, 30-300nm

Gold on carbon resolution test standard with larger gold particles on a carbon substrate. The gold particles size ranges from 30-300nm. The carbon substrate is 6mm diameter with 2mm height. The larger gold particles provide excellent SE signal whereas the dark carbon background separates the individual gold particles. The feature rich larger gold particles are ideal for low kV and medium maginfication range. Use with a magnification of 10,000x or higher. Ideally suited to correct distortion, astigmatism and image shift and to adjust for correct focus, beam size, contrast and brightness. This resolution standard has a square mesh grid pattern to facilitate locating and positioning.
