Description

Original language: German
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.
