SEM Imaging
State-of-the-Art Equipment
If you prefer to send us samples rather than rent your own system, we have you covered. Our in-house Axia ChemiSEM is fully dedicated to providing customers high quality, timely results on a reasonable budget. The ChemiSEM provides real-time EDS mapping. Our Maps 3 software package provides large area stitching and a correlative suite to overlay high resolution stitched SEM images onto optical or other image modalities. We now offer Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) analysis with our state-of-the-art EDAX detector. Contact us today for a free demo and let us earn your business.
High Resolution SEM Imaging
Our Axia ChemiSEM has an imaging resolution of 3 nm with a range of detectors including:
- CBS: Retractable backscattered detector shows atomic # contrast
- ETD: Hi vacuum secondary electron detector
- LVD: Low vacuum secondary electron detector
- Beam Deceleration: Our system is equipped with beam deceleration for low kV imaging of sensitive samples
Large Area Stitching
With our Thermo Scientific Maps software we have the ability to stitch thousands of images from large areas to create a "google earth" type deep zoom image of your sample. This technique is often used for data archiving of critical components.
Experience You Can Trust
We are a family owned business with over 20 years of experience running SEMs, TEMs and Dual Beam FIBs. Our owner has a Ph.D in Materials Science from the University of Connecticut and was previously the technical lead for electron microscopy at a Fortune 500 R&D Lab. He has extensive experience analyzing aerospace alloys, high temperature ceramics, composites, coatings and energy related materials.
