Scanning Electron Microscopy

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) by TESCAN with state-of-the-art optics for materials science and life sciences; a non-destructive technique in which the samples surface is analyzed down to nano-scale using an electron beam probe. One of the main features of the scanning electron microscopes is the high magnification images produced with high resolution that leads to suitable tools for a wide range of applications in numerous fields of science and industry. These microscopes can handle samples of almost any size and type.

TESCAN offers a FIB-SEM configuration where the electron and ion beam focal points align, optimizing various applications such as material science, life science, and semiconductors. There are two types of FIB-SEM systems: Gallium ions, which provide ultimate precision for fabrication and nanopatterning, and Xe plasma FIBs, which deliver high ion beam currents, allowing for the removal of large volumes of material up to 50 times faster than Ga-FIBs.

CoreTOM, DynaTOM, and UniTOM XL systems are leading-edge micro-CT systems from TESCAN that facilitate image acquisition, 3D reconstruction, 3D visualization, and quantification. Micro-CT systems can reveal structural changes over time as a function of changing variables. These instruments are designed for high throughput and flexibility, they offer novel dynamic CT workflows for which the user will be able to access a wide range of 4D applications in areas from Earth Science to Materials Science and beyond.
