Orientation Mapping of Nanomaterials with Unmatched Spatial Resolution
QUANTAX EBSD system, with its popular OPTIMUS 2 detector head, is the best available solution for analyzing nanomaterials in the SEM. Here is why:
- offers the best spatial resolution down to 1.5 nm
- operates with low probe currents without compromising speed and/or data quality
- the only TKD solution working in Ultra-High Resolution mode of SEMs using immersion lens technology
- fully automatic, built-in ARGUS imaging system
Why Do I Need On-axis TKD?
We would like to thank Aaron Lindenberg and his group at Stanford University for the permission to publish this DF-like image of their Ge-Sb-Te (GST) thin film sample!
- To achieve the best spatial resolution
- For orientation and phase mapping in an SEM
- For fast mapping without compromising data quality/integrity
- For acquisition of STEM like images with excellent contrast and resolution at incredible speeds and with fully automatic signal optimization
- For analyzing beam sensitive materials using low probe currents.
