Greetings,

We are considering buying a high-end SEM for a central lab which will
study materials, both conducting and non-conducting. I am wondering
about individual experiences regarding the microscope performances and
company support. I am inclined to think the comparable products of
FEI, JEOL, Zeiss etc are all  very good indeed. Furthermore the users
of a certain product are almost always quite satisfied. So, if there
are experienced users who can provide comparisons, I'd appreciate it.

Best Regards

Re-name this to "why bother."

If such a big decision is to be made and the question is asked and
answered, why is there no response?  

I can only conclude that these types of postings are rather useless.
They are for this topic, random.  Go away.  There are other venues.
Figure it out for yourself.

Yes, it is a big decision and I am in no hurry. Therefore, before you
start spewing meaningless remarks, you should exercise a little self-
control. As I mentioned in the original message, it is for a central
lab where several researchers and students work. Therefore, the
possibility of ferrous materials cannot be completely ruled out. As
for the resolution, thank you very much, I know how to read a catalog
page. I simply asked for personal experiences...

Gosh!, some people really think the world rotates around them.


First off, gmail does not elicit much credibility from me.

If you have read the catalogs and data sheets, why not put out a table
of pros and cons? Personal experiences are exactly that--personal.
If you want to delve into technical aspects, then ask for that.
Otherwise, personal details are trivia. I'm not convinced that you
have a clue about the minutae of one tool versus the other. If this
is so, then keep an open mind about the possibilities. Otherwise,
tell us about what you know at this point and where you wish to go.

IMO, you need to be more specific about your spectrum of specimens.
One or the other could tilt the decision one way or the other. I do
not work for any makers. Therefore, I am quite open to options. This
is what I think you seek. So...be more specific about your
requirements. A formal Statement of Requirements or SOW would go a
long way towards a satisfactory conclusion.
