BSE Atomic Reference Specimen
When equipped with a back-scattered electron detector, an
electron microscope has the capability to produce images in which
the contrast is controlled by differences in atomic number across
the specimen.
Three reference specimens are now available that are suitable
for testing the atomic number contrast performance. Each of the
reference specimens consists of two high purity elements that
have an atomic number difference of 1. They are in the form of
a wire of the low Z element embedded in a matrix of the high
Z element.
The specimens are available as a single mount either 3mm or 5mm diameter or can be incorporated into a block of standards.
