Helios FIB
The FIB/SEM dual-beam system provides the unique capability to add or subtract material at precisely defined locations with high spatial resolution. Its integrated nano-manipulator allows preparation of TEM lamellas. 3D reconstructions is enabled through a "slice and view" before computationally recombining into a single 3D volume. Additional features include:
An XHR SEM monochromated (UC) field emission electron gun (FEG), constant power lens optics and beam decelerator identical to the Verios for its SEM component.
Its Tomahawk ion column features superior high current performance (65 nA max beam current) accelerating voltage from 500 - 30 kV, 2-stage differential pumping and time-of-flight correction for a tighter beam and more accurate scan profile.
Available gas injections are: platinum deposition, carbon deposition, selective carbon mill, and insulator enhanced etch.
Oxford energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) for elemental mapping and analysis.
EasyLift EX NanoManipulator for easy TEM lamella creation and lift-out.
