FEI presents high-rez SEM at Pittcon 2009

December 30, 2008: FEI Co. introduced a new high-resolution scanning electron microscope at Pittcon 2009.

The new Magellan extreme high-resolution scanning electron microscope (XHR SEM) extends SEM to applications that were previously impossible or impractical, according to a news release from the company. The product allows scientists and engineers to quickly see 3D surface images at many different angles and at resolutions below 1 nanometer, the release said.

Most importantly, it said, the Magellan XHR SEM images sample at very low beam energies, avoiding distortions otherwise caused by the beam penetrating into the material below.
