Thermo Fisher Scientific unveiled the Axia ChemiSEM, a cost-effective, floor-model scanning electron microscope that increases the speed of materials microstructural analysis and defect discovery.
Axia ChemiSEM includes always-on energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis with Thermo Fisher’s ChemiSEM technology, providing academic and industrial users with near-instant access to quantitative compositional imaging. Next-generation auto-alignment and auto-focus technology greatly lower the need for training, while the instrument’s unique chamber and stage design make it easy to investigate samples of all shapes and sizes, including heavy samples up to ten kilograms.
Axia ChemiSEM offers fully integrated ChemiSEM Technology, offering instant quantitative elemental information with the click of a button and without needing additional set-up or switching between user interfaces. Companies or academic institutions that want to add SEM-EDS analysis to their workflow but are worried about the complexity and approachability of SEM technology, Axia ChemiSEM is easy to deploy, use and train on, and provides rapid microstructural and elemental information. Axia ChemiSEM provides faster access to the compositional data necessary for accurate failure analysis and defect discovery by collecting chemical information in the background before users need it. These improvements can help lower the cost-per-sample and generate long-term savings.
The new user experience and advanced technology provide live, integrated EDS data, and minimizes the time spent managing the tool. With unique auto-alignment and auto-focus technology, users can focus on data collection, rather than instrument operation. It also offers easy sample navigation and handling of heavy samples due to a uniquely flexible chamber and state design, intuitive software, and imaging automation workflows.
