A new Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), equipped with Oxford EDX System, is now located at Concrete Materials Laboratory (ZB109). This tungsten thermionic emission SEM system is suitable for low- and high-vacuum operations. A high spatial resolution with secondary electron (SE) and backscatter (BSE) detector allows the observation with fine surface details, whilst the EDX detector provides elemental and chemical analysis. The SEM is designed fo
