ELECTRONIC MICROSCOPY PRODUCTS

The next generation desktop SEM​

A true benchtop analytical scanning electron microscope.

NANOS offers SEM imaging with low cost of ownership for high-resolution imaging and integrated energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) for fast elemental analysis. It is designed for easy installation, ease of use and easy maintenance.

Detectors

NANOS comes with a secondary electron detector (SED) and a backscattered electron detector (BSD) as standard. The BSD is a 4-quadrant detector with fully controllable independent segments. By using the segments in different combinations, you provide topographical or compositional details of the sample, as well as “shadow effect” images by highlighting the surface in various directions. An energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) silicon drift detector (SDD) is installed for elemental analysis.

Elementary analysis​

NANOS is equipped with a fully integrated energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) silicon drift detector (SDD). The operator can select EDX point analysis or activate elemental mapping.

Eucentric stage

The eucentric stage of NANOS is truly unique. Comes standard with NANOS. Motorized XY movements can be controlled via the user interface. Tilting the sample in SEM mode can be performed by manually rotating the stage. Thanks to the eucentric design, the sample remains in focus without the need for intermediate changes to the SEM setup. The user interface indicates the exact tilt angle. Samples can be tilted up to an angle of 55°.

CONFIGURATION: NANOS is delivered with integrated BSD, SED, EDS and eucentric tilt stage.

DESIGN – NANOS features a modern and robust design and is designed with state-of-the-art materials and components.

MAINTENANCE – The NANOS design allows easy access for maintenance and upgrades that can be performed at your facility.

ROBUST – With excellent stability and small size, NANOS’ architecture ensures that it can be used in non-laboratory environments.

EASE OF USE – In BASIC mode, NANOS will produce results in a short amount of time, regardless of experience. ADVANCED mode offers more features for detailed analysis.

COST OF OWNERSHIP – NANOS is designed to maintain the lowest cost of ownership of any desktop SEM currently available.

User Interface​

Scanning electron microscopes (SEM) are image-based, and NANOS places the image in the center of the screen. NANOS is easy to set up and has an intuitive interface and requires minimal training to begin generating sample images. The software offers basic mode for those who need quick and easy startup for SEM imaging and advanced mode for detailed sample analysis. The user has full control of the NANOS via the wireless mouse and keyboard and can be configured to operate remotely using an iPad or similar device. The navigation camera (NavCam) is always activated, ensuring the user knows exactly where they are on the display.

Navigation camera​

When the sample is introduced, an optical image of it is created that serves as a navigation image. Provides an image of the entire sample. Through the user interface, the user can easily navigate through the sample. This gives you full control and even at high magnification you always know where you are looking.

Low vacuum reduces sample loading​

Samples are observed in either high-vacuum SEM (conventional SEM) or low-vacuum SEM (low-vacuum SEM). Low vacuum is used to reduce or eliminate the effects of sample loading. When a non-conducting sample is observed in a high vacuum state, electrons accumulate on the surface of the sample and cause a charging phenomenon. NANOS is equipped with a low vacuum mode to overcome this.

Electron source

The NANOS thermionic electron source is a tungsten filament controlled by electromagnetic coil lenses and electrostatic baffles. With the optional “eco” setting, filament life can be extended to hundreds of hours and still produce high-resolution images. Any user can replace the electron source with a simple alignment tool, ensuring minimal downtime. There is no need to wait for a service engineer to replace an expensive supply.

Accelerated tensions

Adjustable acceleration voltage between 1 kV and 20 kV ensures high-speed EDS analysis and mapping to identify elements in your samples.

Maintenance​

NANOS was developed with service as the central axis of its design. Removable panels, modular components, a single control panel and few moving parts keep maintenance requirements to a minimum. The user can perform most tasks. What is unique about NANOS is that there are no moving parts inside the vacuum chamber. Thanks to this intelligent design, the risk of contamination has been eliminated.
