Handling of Filters and Particle Traps in Correlative Microscopy

JOMESA is manufacturer of SEM Filter mounts and SEM particle traps.
Both products contain two markers, visible in optical analysis (HFD) as well as in SEM (PSE)
By finding the markers in HFD (optical) and PSE (SEM), particle coordinates are calclated relative to the marker positions.

JOMESA SEM Filter mounts:
Fixation of particles on filters by JOMESA fixation solution

JOMESA SEM Particle traps:
Optionally with an unique barcode.





Investigation of filters without fixation solution is possible only in low vacuum condition. However the risk of loosing particles by charging effects is usually not acceptable. Even in low vacuum fixation is recommended.
Analysis of filters in high vacuum needs JOMESA conductivity solution. This organic ionic liquid contains only the elements C, O, N and H.

Analysis of particle traps is possible only in low vacuum.


Specific designed filter/trap holders allow direct SEM-EDX analysis:
