ZEISS Smartproof 5
Your Integrated Confocal Microscope for Surface Imaging
The versatile ZEISS Smartproof 5 widefield confocal microscope is your integrated non-contact system for surface analysis: fast, precise and repeatable. Put it to work on a wide range of industrial applications - such as surface roughness and topographic measurement with nanometer resolution that comes up daily in QA/QC, failure analysis and R&D labs.
ZEISS ORION Nanofab
ZEISS ORION NanoFab is a unique focused ion beam instrument capable of generating helium, neon, and gallium ion beams. Based on the Gas Field Ion Source (GFIS) technology, the instrument creates an extremely collimated, highly coherent ion beam that can be used for highest resolution imaging with probe sizes of less than 0.5nm and for precise nanofabrication down to a dimension of about 5nm. This allows for the fabrication of structures such as plasmonic devices and nanopores, patterning of 2D materials, or ion beam lithography with feature sizes well below of what can be achieved with conventional gallium FIBs. The use of inert ion species also eliminates metallic contamination during the milling process and enables deposition of ultra-fine high quality metal or insulator lines. The addition of a gallium focused ion beam column allows for large volume material removal at high speeds.
ZEISS Crossbeam
An FE-SEM/FIB/fiber laser system capable of high-resolution 3D analytics. Combines multi-scale milling and imaging.
