6.5.2 Setting up the InLens SE Detector
Purpose
The InLens SE detector collects the SE signal, acquiring mainly information about surface topogra-
phy.
Fig. 30: Silver nanoparticles embedded in zeolite, imaged at 1.5 kV.
The following settings are recommended for the InLens SE detector:
20 V – 10 kV
0–5 mm
Short working distances are preferable for
good detection efficiency
10 kV – 20 kV
2–5 mm
Info
Avoid strong specimen tilting for the InLens SE detector.
1. In the Crossbeam SEM Control panel, select the Imaging tab.
2. From the Signal A drop-down list, select InLens.
3. Adjust the EHT and the working distance (WD) according to the suggestions in the table in
order to optimize the image.
6.5.3 Setting up the SE Detector
Purpose
The SE detector collects the SE signal, highlighting the topography of the specimen.
