High Pixel Resolution Imaging

For Distortion Free Large Field of View

High pixel resolution of up to 32K x 24K makes it possible to image fine details while maintaining the overview and context of your region of interest.

Our Gemini optics produce superb low voltage imaging without immersion optics or stage bias. This is crucial for imaging non-conductive and beam-sensitive soft polymer materials in advanced packaging.

Beam Sleeve and VP Mode for High-resolution Imaging

Precise EDS Analysis on Soft and Nonconductive Samples

ZEISS FE-SEM incorporates a beam sleeve and Variable Pressure (VP) imaging mode to amplify resolution and enables analysis of non-conductive and soft materials without extensive sample preparation.

The beam sleeve minimises the beam path through the low vacuum region, improving signal to noise for high resolution imaging and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis further reducing charging effects, and beam-induced damage.

Montage Imaging and Correlative Workflow

For Automated ROI Acquisition

The ZEISS FE-SEM is well suited to large area imaging workflows thanks to features like our recipe-based automated image acquisition, a streamlined and automated imaging process across multiple regions of interest (ROI) and samples.

This powerful attribute eliminates the need for manual intervention and increases efficiency. Additionally, the ZEISS correlative workflow allows for the seamless combination of data acquired from multiple modalities and different tools such as light microscopy, X-ray and others, guiding acquisition of specific regions of interest. This leads to more accurate analysis and insightful results and a comprehensive understanding of samples.
