-JM purchased one of these, trying to find more info on it.  Should come with schematics
+The third Super-Mini-SEM, ISI marketing shortened it to simply Super IIIA.  However, the schematics still refer to it as the SMS-IIIA.
+See [[:microscope:sem:isi:sms|SMS]] family page for schematics

 XXX: supposedly this SEM takes a "three prong filament" and in fact has a three contact base.  What is difference between the two types?

+"You will be bidding on a International Scientific Instruments Model Super III A Scanning Electron Microscope. The unit was purchased in 1979 and converted to digital and updated in 1999. This unit comes with a Robinson Backscatter detector, Gresham Titan X-ray pulse-processor, 4PI digital imaging attachment, control computer and software. The agency is reporting the unit is operational except for the X-ray detector analyzer and the software is up to date (uses Macintosh OS9). There are miscellaneous spare parts, filament assemblies, a manual, schematics and a TMC anti-vibration platform is included…located on the Winthrop University Campus in Rock Hill, South Carolina."
+This is by far the most pimped out unit I've found so far:
+    * Computer image capture
+    * Maybe computer control?
+    * Robinson Backscatter detector (is that the special PMT assembly?)
+    * Gresham Titan X-ray pulse-processor (for the EDS?)
