Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe Institute of Geochemistry and Petrology at ETH Zurich intends to replace its existing analytical scanning electron microscope (SEM) with a new system. The instrument should have a field emission source, SE and powerful BSE detectors, and a state of the art energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) with a detector area of at least 100 mm2. Offers for a panchromatic and/or monochromatic cathodoluminescence detector (entry level model) are also of interest. The main purpose is precise and accurate quantitative EDS analyses using a strict quantification protocol with reference materials and full matrix correction (ZAF, phi-rho-z or equivalent). The large sample chamber must hold at least three petrographic thin sections and six epoxy-mounted round samples (1 inch diameter), and the system must be programmable for automated quantitative EDS runs lasting more than 24 hours. Details in the specification document.
