The Ultim Extreme ∞ (“Infinity”) is a revolutionary breakthrough for ultra-high-resolution FEG-SEM. This advanced detector enables energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) data collection at extremely low accelerating voltages (e.g. 1-3 kV) and extremely short working distances. It supports elemental analysis under the precise conditions required for the study of nanomaterials and surfaces at the highest possible SEM resolution. Its unrivaled sensitivity is achieved through innovative technological features, including a specially engineered sensor shape, windowless design, sensor-to-sample proximity, small electron trap, and an exceptionally high solid angle.
Why Infinity?
Ultim Extreme Infinity delivers results beyond conventional micro and nano-analysis. It comes with guaranteed performance, tested on installation, beyond the typical specifications of any other detector. The highest sensitivity is ensured by specific technological solutions that include specially shaped sensor, windowless design, proximity of sensor to the sample, small electron trap and very high solid angle. Solid angle is 7-8× that of a typical 100 mm² conventional EDS detector.
