The Nova NanoSEM 230 is a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM).[1]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe system is built for high-resolution imaging of surface topography and composition. Field emission technology provides a high-brightness electron source for improved image quality compared to thermionic emission microscopes.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA field emission scanning electron microscope generates a beam of electrons from a sharp field emitter tip under high electric field. The beam is focused and scanned across the sample surface in a raster pattern.
As the electron beam strikes the sample, it generates various signals, including secondary electrons and backscattered electrons, which are collected by detectors to form an image. The field emission source enables high current density and a small probe diameter, allowing nanoscale resolution.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedCommon application areas include research and development laboratories, quality control in semiconductor fabs, and university research facilities.
