- Obtain crisp, sharp topographical details with the new secondary electron (SE) detector that delivers up to 50% more signal.
- New VP and EP imaging detectors provide improved signal at higher pressures to visualize the finest surface details.
Intelligent Imaging – High Throughput
- EVO delivers highest productivity in manufacturing and quality control.
- Reduce 400 manual steps to only 15, imaging four points of interest on nine specimens at three different magnifications.
- Automated Intelligent Imaging provides free-form regions of interest (ROIs) for unattended automated image acquisition.
- SmartBrowse collects and presents your data as an interactive map to help you completely understand your sample.
As Flexible As It Is Easy To Use
- Future-assured upgrade path ensures EVO can meet the challenge of rapidly growing application requirements.
- A choice of chamber size and electron source ensures EVO can be perfectly configured for demanding imaging, EDS, WDS and EBSD applications.
- Robust stage options provide the perfect platform for imaging large, heavy automotive and aerospace components.
- Upgrade to a full environmental SEM to enable complete control over your sample for dynamic high pressure or water vapor experiments.
