FEI Helios FIB SEM

FEI Helios FIBSEMThe FEI Helios NanoLab 660 DualBeam is a fully digital, Extreme High Resolution (XHR) Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE SEM) equipped with Focused Ion Beam (FIB) technology. It allows for fast characterization of nanometer details and analysis in 2D and 3D, high quality thin sample preparation for TEM and flexible nanoprototyping.

The FIB SEM can be used for nanofabrication as well as 3-D reconstruction of biological structures. 

  • Schottky field emitter electron source for landing energies 20 V - 30 kV
