Maps for Phenom SEM
Software Features
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.
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.

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.
Data Management & 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.
