JEOL new SEM features integrated EDS, new-gen SDD tech

(September 23, 2010) — JEOL introduced the InTouchScope, an analytical, low-vacuum scanning electron microscope (SEM) featuring integrated energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) with the latest silicon drift detector (SDD) technology. 

The new InTouchScope has the familiar feel of today’s personal electronic media.  The intuitive multi-touch screen interface puts all SEM Apps at the operator’s fingertips. The user can expand windows and images with the sweep of two fingers, dial in magnification and focus with a swipe, and select operating parameters, analytical functions, or measure distances just by tapping the PC or notebook touch screen. 

Ease of use functions include automatic SEM condition set up based on sample type, simultaneous multiple live image and movie capture, easy sample navigation at 5 to 300,000x magnifications, quantitative and qualitative elemental analysis, low and high vacuum operation, and wireless capability.
