Scanning electron microscope
Main activity
New-generation Scanning Electron Microscope with field effect (SEM-FEG). Scanning electron microscopy produces high-resolution images of a sample by scanning its surface. Concarneau's SEM is a Zeiss Sigma 300 with an electronic source, FEG Schottky type (field emission gun), with the ultra high resolution Gemini® column, boosted to improve performance at low voltage, allowing analysis of samples at nanometric scale.

Description
Provision of imaging and/or imaging services.
The Concarneau Marine Station is the oldest station in the world still in activity. This centre dedicated to research on the marine environment, teaching, expertise, dissemination of knowledge and collections is among the 12 sites of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle.
Raising environmental awareness and saving the planet are at the heart of contemporary debate. The Muséum is fully committed to these issues, and plays a pivotal role through the variety of tasks it fulfils: pure and applied research, conserving and enhancing its collections, teaching, expertise and knowledge sharing.
The Muséum is a research centre which relies on laboratory experiments and expeditions across the world, a wide range of disciplines, exceptional collections and acknowledged expertise. It aims to share its knowledge through teaching and public education. The Muséum's clear objective is to make information about the natural world accessible to all and to inform as many people as possible of the need to protect our planet.
