Focused Ion Beam (FIB) FIB/SEM DualBeam Systems
Dual-beam Focused Ion Beam (FIB) is a combination of a high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and a scanning metal ion beam microscope. It provides significant new capabilities for microscopic imaging, nanofabrication, and site-selective TEM sample preparation.

| Thermo Scios2 Dual-Beam SEM/FIB |

B58 MRL |
Fast and easy preparation of high-quality, site-specific, TEM and atom probe samples using the Sidewinder HT ion column and EasyLift™ system for precise milling and in-situ sample manipulation and lift-out. To achieve the high-quality results, final polishing with low-energy ions is required to minimize surface damage on the sample. The Sidewinder HT provides high-resolution imaging and milling at high voltages, but has also good low-voltage performance (to 500V), enabling the creation of high-quality TEM lamella. |
