The TESCAN S8000G is the first member of a new family of TESCAN microscope – The S8000 series. The TESCAN
S8000G is a FIB-SEM system which has all that it takes to meet the demands of today’s research in both industry and academia; it delivers outstanding image quality with superb contrast ideal for nanocharacterisation and the capability to perform complex nanoengineering tasks with extreme precision and incomparable ease.
It is equipped with the new BrightBeam™ SEM column which achieves truly uncompromised field-free ultra-high resolution (UHR) for maximum versatility in analysis including the analysis of magnetic samples and live SEM monitoring during FIB operations. The new column is equipped with an electron optics design that improves resolution especially at low beam energies ideal for imaging beam-sensitive and nonconductive samples. On the other hand, the synergy of the novel Orage™ Ga FIB column fitted with state-of-the-art ion optics and the newly designed OptiGIS™ gas injection system makes TESCAN S8000G a world-class instrument for sample preparation and nanopatterning.
Modular and workflow-oriented software assures maximum control in all your applications, and, no trade-offs between complex technology and user-friendliness. The TESCAN S8000G is ideal for high-end FIB-SEM applications and, the analytical platform of choice for all those who pursue better understanding and breakthroughs in science and technology on daily basis.
