Research

Work smaller. Work smarter. Work faster.

Research

FEI systems and work processes are applied relentlessly in the search for vastly lighter, stronger and safer materials; more efficient fuels and fuel cell technologies; and a wide range of better, more efficient products used in myriad ways by consumers. In the forefront of nanoscale research, FEI works with university and institute scientists engaged in basic and applied research for materials science, process control and structural research applications.

The company's tools and processes for nanotech research provide specialists with the ability to measure physical, chemical, mechanical and electrical properties. Quantum leaps forward are possible when scientists can image, characterize, analyze and manipulate objects with nanoscale dimensions. By making the invisible visible, and by providing cutting-edge data collection and analytical techniques, FEI systems provide researchers with the ability to work smaller, work smarter and to work with more flexibility.

For researchers at universities and institutes, FEI application processes deliver tremendous value through faster time to discovery and shorter collection and analysis cycles.

Applications

Research applications typically performed with FEI systems and tools include the following:
