Introduction 
he JEOL JSM-6060LV is a state-of-the-art scanning electron microscope that features 
a low vacuum for observation of non-conductive specimens, a fully automated electron 
gun, a backscattered electron detector for atomic number contrast imaging, fully 
integrated digital control, motorized x-y stage, and a NORAN System 6 elemental 
analysis system (see separate operating instructions for the NORAN system).  Best of all, the 
JEOL JSM-6060LV scanning electron microscope is user-friendly and easy to operate. 
 
Safety 
The scanning electron microscope is a relatively safe instrument..  You can do much more 
damage to it than it can do to you.  When the electron beam is turned on, some x-rays are 
produced as a result of electron beam interaction with the sample, but these x-rays are of relatively 
low energy and do not escape the sample chamber.  The instrument also produces some radio 
frequency energy.
