Which one shall I choose between Sirion and DB235 Dual-Beam?

Hi everyone,

 

I was wondering if anyone in this list is familiar with the SEMs in the SNL. I want to take some images of the fine structures on bacterial surface, which may need a resolution of at least 10 nm. I am planning to get trained on the SEMs in the SNL. It appears that before qualified to the training for FEI Magellan 400 XHR one has to be trained on either FEI Sirion SEM or the FEI DB235 Dual-Beam FIB/SEM. Could anyone make a suggestion that which one of the two is the better for my experiment with fixed bacteria? I hope to work on that one first and then consider whether to move on to Magellan. Thanks a lot!

 

Best,
