ISI/Akashi WB-6 scanning electron microscope
Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2018 3:51 am
Hello all, this is my first post here. I've always been into microscopy, and actually took a course on electron microscopy - with a fun lab section - at university a few years ago.
Recently, to my great surprise, I came across an estate sale with, you guessed it, a scanning electron microscope. Specifically, an ISI/Akashi WB-6 model.
I'm doing as much research as I can, however, information on this model is VERY slim. I'd like to get a manual so I can try using it to assess its condition and required repairs to start. I'd also like to learn the value of these to inform a potential purchase.
Can anyone recommend a contact - person, business, or otherwise - who may be knowledgeable about SEMs, or who could point me in the right direction? I haven't even been able to find a website for ISI (International Scientific Instruments), or Akashi Seisakusho ltd.
Thank you, any and all help is appreciated, I'll post an update on the results.
