FA-STEM Microscope

Innovative analytical FE-SEM allows for a simple transition between high vacuum and variable pressure mode. EM Wizard is a knowledge-based system for SEM imaging that goes beyond basic preset conditions and recipes. Its ease of use opens a new gateway for material research, development, and area beyond our imagination.

Overview

The SU5000 FE-SEM has forever changed SEM operations. Ground-breaking computer-assisted technology from Hitachi, referred to as the EM Wizard, offers a new level of SEM operation and control. Expert or novice, the result is now the same: Highest quality nano-scale images at everyone's fingertips!

Features

A novel, revolutionary user interface, EM Wizard, provides all users with optimum levels of resolution, repeatability, and throughput. With EM Wizard, beginners become experts overnight.

Automatic axis adjustment technology (auto-calibration) restores the microscope to its \"best condition\" on demand.

A robust \"draw-out\" specimen chamber accommodates large specimens (-200 mmφ, -80 mmH).

Rapid sample exchange with evacuation to observation in 3 minutes or less.

Automated, intuitive on-demand image optimization on the fly.

A visual and interactive guide offers 'pick and choose' SEM modes to ensure best operating conditions.

With the 3D MultiFinder tool, samples are easily tilted and rotated with the image remaining centered and in focus.
