Summary

Machine-generated summary

The 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.

Description

Das Institut für Geochemie und Petrologie der ETH Zürich beabsichtigt, sein bestehendes analytisches Rasterelektronenmikroskop (REM) durch ein neues System zu ersetzen. Dieses soll mit einer Feldemissionsquelle, SE- und leistungsstarken BSE-Detektoren sowie einem hochmodernen energiedispersiven Röntgenspektrometer (EDS) mit grossem Detektorbereich (≥ 100 mm²) ausgestattet sein. Wir sind zudem an Angeboten für einen panchromatischen und/oder einen monochromatischen Kathodolumineszenz-Detektor (Einstiegsmodell) interessiert. Hauptziel des Instruments ist die Durchführung präziser und genauer quantitativer EDS-Analysen unter Anwendung eines strengen Quantifizierungsprotokolls, das die Verwendung von Referenzmaterialien sowie eine vollständige Matrixkorrektur (ZAF, phi-rho-z oder gleichwertig) umfasst. Das Gerät muss über eine grosse Probenkammer verfügen, die Platz für mindestens drei petrographische Dünnschliffe und sechs in Epoxidharz eingebettete Rundproben (Durchmesser 1 Zoll) bietet. Zudem soll das System programmierbar sein, um automatisierte quantitative EDS-Analysereihen mit einer Laufzeit von mehr als 24 Stunden zu ermöglichen. Details siehe Pflichtenheft.
