Equipping Semnan University with the Most Advanced Nanometric Imaging Technologies
After installing and launching the most advanced nanometric imaging technologies at Semnan University, Dr. Seyfolah Saedodin, President of Semnan University, said in an exclusive interview with the "Democracy" newspaper: "Progress in various fields of nanotechnology is practically impossible without the use of precise identification and imaging tools."
In this regard, it is a pleasure to announce that Semnan University has succeeded in launching the CIQTEK SEM5000X field emission scanning electron microscope.
This device is not only an advanced laboratory equipment, but also a scientific and strategic driver for the development of frontier research at the regional and national levels.
The CIQTEK SEM5000X electron microscope, utilizing field emission technology, is capable of providing stunningly clear images at the sub-nanometer scale.
Among the most important advantages of this device over many similar models are very high resolution at low accelerating voltages, remarkable speed and accuracy in analysis, advanced vacuum system, use of modern detectors, and high electron beam stability.
These features enable imaging of heat-sensitive and non-conductive samples, including biological samples, polymers, and soft materials without damaging their structure.
Dr. AlianNezhadi, Dean of the Faculty of Physics at Semnan University, also stated in an interview with the "Democracy" reporter: In this microscope, topographic resolution and combined contrast are provided in an unparalleled manner, and it is possible to conduct long-term experiments, stable imaging, and elemental mapping with high accuracy.
Using this device, magnification of up to 250000 times and resolution of 0.6 nm at a voltage of 15 kV and 1 nm at a voltage of 1 kV can be achieved, which places it among the most advanced nanoscale imaging equipment.
Dr. Saedodin also said: The role of this device in advancing science and responding to the diverse needs of society, from medicine and health to industry, environment and energy, is very important.
This microscope allows for detailed examination of drug nanocarriers, the microstructure of tissues, biological materials, and even the structure of some pathogens, which can be directly effective in developing new methods for diagnosing and treating intractable diseases.
Dr. Saedodin, a national professor at Semnan University, also mentioned in the final part of the conversation: The installation and commissioning of this device at the Faculty of Physics of Semnan University is a direct response to the urgent need of researchers, faculty members, graduate students, and industries in the country; a need that previously forced many to send samples abroad or endure long waiting times and receive lower quality results.
Semnan University, while announcing its full readiness to provide specialized services of this device to research, academic, and industrial centers across the country, considers this action an effective step towards strengthening scientific infrastructure, research self-sufficiency, and enhancing Iran's scientific status.
