Compact & High-Performance Column
Best-in-class resolution in a compact system. The FlexSEM employs a newly designed electrical optical system with a reliability-proven high-sensitivity detector, achieving imaging at 4 nm.

High resolution image
The electron optics incorporate a low aberration objective lens and a unique gun bias system that allows delivery of high emission current.


    

Accelerating Voltage: 20kV Secondary Electron (SE) Image Magnification: 60,000X Resolution: 4.0 nm

Accelerating Voltage: 20kV Backscattered Electron (BSE) Image Magnification: 50,000X Resolution: 5.0 nm

Ultra-Variable-Pressure Detector
Novel low vacuum technologies enable observation of the surface of non-conductive specimens without preprocessing, across the entire pressure and accelerating voltage ranges.

New & Improved Auto Functions
The user interface is easy to operate even by novice users, and with the various automated functions, high-quality and quick data acquisition can be accomplished regardless of user experience level. A touch panel operation is possible.

       

Intuitive & Correlative Navigation
SEM MAP helps to locate regions of interest quickly, and delivers accurate correlated optical and SEM images using only one click. Optical and EM correlation function, SEM MAP is fully integrated into the graphical user interface.

Features

COMPACT SLIM BODY
A compact design (450 mm wide) minimizes system footprint. The FlexSEM is designed with separable units for flexible system placement. The entire system requires only a standard wall outlet for power.
