Acoustic Enclosure

Works With: Almost every SEM and Small DualBeam
The acoustic enclosure is a cover that fits the various pump(s) of the microscope system. It provides noise dampening of the pump(s) for operator and microscope. Check which enclosures we have available for your instrument.

Auto FIB

Works With: Versa 3D, V600, Helios, Nova NanoLab, Strata and Quanta 3D (FEG) Series
AutoFIB is a multi-site software automation package for FEI Small DualBeam (SDB) instruments. The package allows for unattended performing of FIB tasks after macro-recording. AutoFIB’s capabilities can be extended by application-specific automation software such as AutoTEM.

Auto TEM

Works With: Versa 3D, V600, Helios, Nova NanoLab, Strata and Quanta 3D (FEG) Series
AutoTEM is automation software for unattended TEM sample preparation by Focused Ion Beam Nano-machining. Throughput typically is two samples per hour depending on the required final thickness of the sample. The AutoTEM option requires Auto FIB, Platinum or Tungsten gas chemistry.

AutoSlice and View

Works With: Versa 3D, V600, Helios, Nova NanoLab, Strata and Quanta 3D (FEG) Series
