The FlexSEM II: High-Resolution SEM Imaging in a surprisingly compact design

6 Jun 2025

In this application note, Hitachi High-Tech Europe demonstrates the Hitachi FlexSEM II, which addresses the need for more compact yet powerful scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), by bridging the gap between tabletop convenience and full-scale performance.

Electron MicroscopyElectron microscopes (EM) are used to create high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale by means of an accelerated beam of electrons as a source of illumination. Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
