Our Advanced Microscopy Techniques

We offer a wide array of techniques to meet your specific needs, including:

  • Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM):
    High-resolution imaging of surface and near-surface features with excellent depth of field. Coupled with EDS, SEM also provides elemental composition analysis.

  • Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM):
    Ultra-high-resolution imaging of thin samples to investigate internal structures, crystallography, and elemental distribution at the atomic level.

  • Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM):
    Combines TEM and SEM advantages for advanced failure analysis and elemental mapping.

  • Dual Beam FIB/SEM:
    Precise sample preparation and imaging, enabling “cut and look” studies of difficult-to-access features and sub-surface layers.

  • Elemental Analysis:
    Using techniques such as EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) and EELS (Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy) to map elemental composition and detect impurities.
