    Brief

    The St. Gallen Cantonal Police is seeking to replace its old REM scanning electron microscope (including EDX) with a state-of-the-art system. The new system should enable us to perform the following tasks: * Smoke Investigation: We need to quickly and automatically search samples (REM stubs) for smoke particles (both conventional and heavy metal-free). The identified particles must be manually checked for composition and shape. * Visual Inspection for Contact Traces on Filaments: This requires the ability to rotate and move the filament in all directions within the REM and to recognize material contrasts between glass and tungsten. * Automated Sample Identification for Element Analysis (EDX, Mapping). * Imaging with magnifications of up to 100,000 times. Any additional features that enhance the system's capabilities should also be specified.
