ZEISS Introduces its New Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope ZEISS GeminiSEM 450

The GeminiSEM 450 delivers high-resolution and an optical system that obtains the best analytical results, especially at low voltages. High-throughput EBSD analysis and low-voltage EDS deliver excellent results due to ZEISS Gemini 450’s ability to precisely and independently control spot size and beam current. With the new design, it is possible to always work under optimized conditions, as the user can switch between imaging and analytical modes at the touch of a button.

JEOL Announces New Monochromated ARM200F

JEOL introduced the latest technology for cutting-edge research in development of new materials. The JEOL Monochromated ARM200F offers ultrahigh energy resolution EELS analysis of materials at the atomic scale, made possible by the development of a unique Spot-in-Spot-out double Wein filter monochromator. The double Wein filter maintains spot size of the beam and the lattice resolution in STEM by producing an achromatic and stigmatic focus at the exit plane, resulting in a round probe on the specimen plane.

ANPx312 – New Positioner Optimized for Ultra-High Stability Applications

Many cryogenic experiments are becoming increasingly complex. Frequently, multiple-axes nanopositioning systems are used in these setups. The increased weight, however, leads to lower resonance frequencies of the configuration and hence increased sensitivity to external vibrations. The new, ultra-stable ANPx312 piezo stage offers enhanced stiffness of up to 300% compared to similar cryogenic positioners, leading to an unmatched resonance frequency of 4 kHz, and it is compatible with other positioners offering up to 6 movement axes.
