Refined Electron Optics and Multi-Signal Detection

The Ethos SEM column is composed of a magnetic- and electrostatic-field compound objective lens system configured as two lens modes. High Resolution (HR) mode achieves sample observation at ultimate resolution by immersing the sample within the magnetic field of the lens system. Field Free(FF) mode offers real-time FIB processing for high accuracy end point milling. Hyper switching between FIB irradiation and SEM imaging as fast as 10 nsec offers real-time fabrication and observation views with clarity. Fast SEM and IM imaging enables users to quickly find the area of interest with ease.
