Automated Multi-modal Acquisition & Visualization Software

Maps for Phenom Desktop SEM

Introducing Maps software, a powerful enhancement for Phenom Desktop Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs), crafted to elevate the efficiency and depth of your analytical workflows. Maps software automates acquisition of large datasets, including SEM imaging and EDS mapping, and seamlessly stiches and aligns them to provide detailed visualization across expansive sample areas. 

Beyond enhancing the Phenom’s capabilities, the Maps UI is compatible across Thermo Scientific microscopes including SEM, FIB-SEM, TEM, and XPS systems, providing guided workflows for acquiring and analyzing correlated datasets.

High-Resolution, Large Area Imaging & EDS Maps

Capture and seamlessly stitch expansive, high-resolution SEM images and EDS maps, enabling fast, detailed exploration of your samples.

Effortless Automation

Automate imaging sessions with unattended operation, maximizing microscope efficiency and ensuring high-quality data with minimal oversight.

Integrated Correlative Microscopy

Align and overlay data acquired from different instruments for cohesive, multi-modal insights into your samples.

Software Features

Tile Set Acquisition

Tile sets are arrays of individual images (or EDS maps) that systematically cover a defined sample area. With the tile set acquisition panel in Maps, users can customize key parameters—such as the number of tiles, resolution, and frame averaging—to suit their specific analysis needs. Estimated acquisition times for each tile and the complete tile set are displayed upfront, allowing you to plan and optimize your workflow for maximum efficiency.

Unattended operation

Smart acquisition allows users to set up and run multiple tile sets on various samples, enabling hands-free jobs that optimize microscope time without sacrificing data quality or quantity.

Large-area High Resolution Imaging

Save time searching for regions of interest during microscope sessions. Maps divides large areas into smaller tiles, stitching them together seamlessly to create a multi-scale image viewable at both low and high magnifications.

Compositional Overview of Sample

Maps can generate low-magnification elemental maps faster than traditional methods, allowing you to quickly visualize the distribution of elements across your entire sample. Additional elements can be added post-acquisition, with EDS mapping data accessible for each tile within the intuitive Phenom UI.

Correlative Data Workflows

MAPS offers a consistent UI across Thermo Fisher microscopy equipment, including SEM, dual-beam FIB-SEM, TEM, and XPS systems. Guided workflows allow users to acquire data from the same area of interest, enabling seamless multi-modal, correlative datasets.

Data Management and Offline Analysis

The Maps offline viewer provides an environment to dive deeper into your data. Import data from various sources – from the optical navigation camera, electron microscope images, EDS maps, Phase maps, and spectral images containing XPS, Raman, and IR data – and easily align and organize overlays for detailed visualizations.
