NANOS: A Cutting-Edge Tabletop SEM

The NANOS is a next-generation tabletop SEM with high-resolution imaging (< 8 nm) and integrated energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) for rapid, precise elemental analysis at a low cost of ownership. Its small size, durable construction, and plug-and-play configuration make it perfect for R&D, educational, and industrial applications that do not require dedicated infrastructure.

Key Features

  • Mixed Mode Imaging: Viewing SE and BSE simultaneously, with the possibility to overlay
  • Topographical Mode: Advanced surface imaging with shading effects is made possible by 4-quadrant BSD
  • Low Maintenance and Service Costs: Detachable panels, user-serviceable parts, and modular components
  • < 8 nm Resolution
  • EDS – Point Analysis, Line Scan, and Element Mapping
  • High-Performance SE and 4 Quadrants BSE Detectors
  • Low Vacuum Capability
  • Eucentric Tilt Stage (Standard)
  • 1 to 20 kV Acceleration Voltage
  • 1000+ hours Filament Lifetime Performance.
