INDUSTRY NEWS: Next Generation Phenom XL G2 Desktop SEM Brings Advanced Automation to the Forefront

Source: ATA Scientific

While traditional SEMs remain relatively large and difficult to operate, Thermo Scientific Phenom desktop SEMs provide an alternative that is smaller, faster and now, even easier to use.

Building on the performance of its predecessor, the next-generation Phenom XL G2 Desktop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) delivers new automation solutions for quality control (QC), enabling more detailed failure analyses than is possible using optical microscopes. Manual, repetitive tasks can be automated to allow a high volume of samples to be quickly processed and to discover potential failures early to guide rapid adjustment to production processes. Particles, pores, fibres or large SEM images can be automatically characterised and foreign contaminants automatically identified and evaluated for chemical composition. Users can obtain high-quality images in just 40 seconds—three times faster than other desktop SEM systems on the market. Offering an improved resolution of 10 nanometers, the system enables more resolving power and the ability to explore large samples of up to 100 by 100 millimeters. A key feature of the Phenom XL G2 is its easy-to-use, intuitive user interface combining two screens into one for viewing images and performing analysis. With one simple click on the impurity, users can see what elements are present using the live energy-dispersive X-ray (EDS) analysis. The optical navigation camera makes it possible to view the entire sample while the user is in SEM mode. Requiring little lab space, the Phenom XL G2’s compact size allows users to place the microscope exactly where it’s needed—whether that’s in the lab or on the production line for real-time analyses. The latest Phenom ParticleX series is designed to provide technical cleanliness and additive manufacturing companies faster QC analyses of materials. Consisting of a high-performance Phenom XL Desktop SEM with automation software packages, the Phenom ParticleX provides in-house analysis and validation of produced goods against industry-approved standards, up to ten times faster than outsourcing.
