Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe Institute of Geochemistry and Petrology at ETH Zurich intends to replace its existing analytical scanning electron microscope with a new system. The instrument must 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 welcome. The main purpose is precise quantitative EDS analysis using reference materials and full matrix correction. The large sample chamber must hold at least three petrographic thin sections and six one-inch epoxy-mounted round samples, and the system must be programmable for automated analysis runs exceeding 24 hours. Details are given in the specification document.
