Even though scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has made tremendous advances, it can be considered by new users to be a complicated technique. Sample preparation, alignments, cost of ownership, and difficulties with analytical techniques prevent widespread adoption. We set out to resolve these challenges in order to make a truly accessible SEM without compromising on flexibility. Our goal was to make microscopy an easy and enjoyable experience in which you should not have to fight the microscope to obtain quality data. The result is the Thermo Scientific™ Axia ChemiSEM™ Scanning Electron Microscope, a system in which obtaining SEM-EDS data is no longer a chore. EDS is no longer just an afterthought—chemical data and imaging have now become one.
The Axia ChemiSEM is unlike traditional SEMs in that it always collects EDS data in the background. It uses unique algorithms to process the SEM and EDS signals simultaneously, allowing it to display the morphology and quantitative elemental make up of a sample together, in real time. It constantly processes EDS data in the background, giving you live updates on elemental data, as it is acquired. Elements found in your sample can be toggled on and off, allowing you to isolate areas of interest.
The Axia ChemiSEM features a superior user experience enhanced by automation, such as SmartAlign technology for alignment-free operation, newly developed automatic functions, and live quantitative EDS mapping. This always-on processing make analysis twice as fast, compared to traditional methods. The Axia ChemiSEM Scanning Electron Microscope puts SEM/EDS analysis within reach of a wider scientific audience, speeds up your workflow, and saves time on training.
SEM and EDS analysis in industry
As the complexity of industrial processes increases, so does the need for more rigorous, high-quality analysis to ensure that products meet all standards of quality and reliability. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has become a common tool for modern research and development, as well as for failure analysis and troubleshooting, because it provides detailed (nanometer-scale) information about the surface structure of samples. SEM is often used in conjunction with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), which adds elemental information to the surface imaging data.
