Unity
Unity is the world’s first Backscattered Electron and X-ray (BEX) Imaging detector.
Unity is a new detector for a revolutionary new imaging technique in the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It seamlessly combines Backscattered Electron and X-ray signals to deliver rapid high-definition colour images embedded with elemental data as you navigate around your sample.
Based on a revolutionary design, which includes both backscattered electron and X-ray sensors within the same sensor package, Unity is located directly beneath the pole piece and has been engineered to maximise signal collection, ensuring it can be used at normal imaging speed and operating conditions, making imaging elementary.
The high-speed BEX data collection of Unity makes it easier than ever before to image and analyse an entire sample in minutes, changing the way SEM is used and accelerating the path to discover.
