Welcome to our first Hitachi Desktop (TM1000/TM3000/TM3030) User group eNews.
As we build this user group our hope is that we can provide a periodic email that people find useful, and maybe we can help build some links between groups with common interests. |

RECENT EVENT : QUEENSLAND MUSEUM OUTREACH |
|
|
|
|
NewSpec’s Martin Cole and David Gibson set up two tabletop Hitachi systems with EDS at this World Science Festival event run by people from the University of Queensland Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis. Thousands of people (mostly parents and kids) attended this free event over two days. The Hitachi tabletop instruments were flat out all the time no doubt inspiring some young microscopists. Martin demonstrated images of native bees with pollen on the bee’s microscopic leg hairs, beetles, mosquitos, fool's gold and meteorite samples.

AgriBio’s biosecurity and diagnostic capabilities have been further enhanced with the arrival of a new Hitachi benchtop Scanning Electron Microscope.
The SEM produces high resolution, three dimensional, black and white images that provides topographical, morphological and compositional information about a sample.
It can also detect and analyse surface fractures, provide information in microstructures, examine surface contaminations, reveal spatial variations in chemical compositions, provide qualitative chemical analyses and identify crystalline structures.

“Another advantage is that specimens don’t need to be coated for the SEM, so they can be returned to
collections.” - Dr Mallik Malipatil |
