How much costs a cheap SEM for a private customer. This microscope
should be able to supply 10.000 magnifications at least.
Oh...plus crating and shipping and un-crating and setup.
Add another $2,700USD.
So, $2200 makes the total $4900USD.

Are you speaking of a new SEM microscope?
Have you some Internet addresses to see it?
George
you only said cheap SEM--no indication of new or used.
There are new small table top SEMs being made that cost in the
$75,000USD range. Older SEMs can produce nice 10KX images and are in
the $5,000USD price range. However, in any case and IMO, you are not
asking the right set of questions for choosing a SEM.
This can be the right occasion! Which could be the right questions?:-)
See discussion thread in the group with bireroz...@xxxxxxxxx regarding
new SEM. His focus was on a new high rez unit. Are you looking for a
used unit or a new unit? What space limitation do you have? What
power do you have (V and A)?
Ordell's points are good ones. Can you address these at this time?
vacuum experience is quite important but can be learned over time.

Ordell is correct. You can get an old JEOL 35 for about $2500 but be
prepared to keep her running. You will also need a water chiller but
you can get by with running water through a large ice chest that you
fill with water and ice.
The JEOL T300 is a better scope for a beginner because it is easier to
maintain. I have one for sale for maybe $2000 but it needs some
work. It works but has bad astigmatism.
Getting someone to work on an old SEM is problematic. We have had
various companies come to fix our old JEOL 35 C, JEOL 35CF and T300
and have found that most of these people are worthless and cost a lot.
We even keep another third JEOL 35 just for parts.
For a real adventure, get an old ETEC Autoscan. They are
indestructible but ancient.
BTW, SEM filaments will cost about $25 each re-tipped meaning you
exchange blown ones for re-tipped ones.
