The Axia ChemiSEM scanning electron microscope has a thermionic tungsten filament source and automated alignment, automated sample navigation, variable pressure feature, a backscatter detector, and live quantitative elemental mapping. The ChemiSEM always collects energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) data in the background, displaying the morphology and elemental makeup of a sample in real time, speeding up workflow. Elements found in the sample may be toggled on or off, to emphasize or isolate elements and regions of the sample.
It comes with a control panel, for manual control and alignment touch-up; the SmartAlign technology minimizes the beam alignment steps.
- Infrared chamber camera
- Nav-Cam: color optical camera for sample navigation
