Focused Ion Beam (FIB)

FEI HELIOS 660i Nanolab FIB with Oxford EBSD & EDS system

Extreme high-resolution (XHR) Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE SEM)

Description

The FEI HELIOS 660i Nanolab FIB with Oxford EBSD & EDSsystem is a high-resolution Focused Ion Beam (FIB) system equipped with extreme high-resolution (XHR) Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE SEM). It also has a large area high-efficiency EDS detector for local elemental chemistry. High-speed, high-precision EBSD detector for sample crystallographic analysis in one system.

Uses / Applications

This is a unique and versatile characterisation tool. It allows for the precise characterisation of nanometer details and analysis in 2D and 3D, very high quality sample preparation and flexible nanoprototyping.
