Capabilities and Features

  • Equipped with a femtosecond laser enabling large‑ROI milling for rapid removal of sample volumes before fine FIB work
  • Ion‑Sculptor FIB (0.5–30 kV accelerating voltage; 1 pA–100 nA beam current) for precise milling and low-damage TEM lamella preparation
  • 1.6 nm SEM resolution at 1 kV; ~3 nm FIB resolution at 30 kV
  • Supports 3D FIB-SEM tomography via a slice‑and‑view workflow, and correlative SEM/EDS/EBSD analysis
