Phenom Desktop SEM Systems
The Phenom desktop scanning electron microscope from ThermoFisher was designed to be the easiest and most intuitive SEM ever built. Advanced electron sources in the form of cerium hexaboride crystals or field emission guns, along with multiple detectors, make it easy to acquire quality data and beautiful images. Imaging and analysis are mere clicks away!
The Phenom Pharos is uniquely equipped with a field emission gun (FEG) and excels in applications demanding high spatial resolution. An unmatched coherent and bright electron beam, low kV accelerating voltage imaging, and automatic drift corrections make the Pharos a competitive alternative to many floor model SEMs.
The Pharos STEM combines a high-brightness FEG source with a fully-integrated segmented STEM detector to generate STEM images with stunning contrast, even at low voltages. This compact desktop STEM-in-SEM system delivers the precision and resolution of nanoscale imaging traditionally reserved for larger, floor model systems.
The Phenom XL has the largest sample capacity of all Phenom instruments, able to contain a high volume of small specimens, a single bulk mass, or anything in between. The XL also serves as the workhorse for an upgradeable automation software package known as ParticleX to push the boundaries of automated electron microscopy.
The Phenom Pro and ProX are the ultimate all-in-one SEM imaging systems, differentiated only by the presence of an integrated energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) detector. The unique and powerful core architecture characteristic of the Phenom line combines with a host of data analysis features to provide the most complete desktop SEM solution on the market.
The Phenom Pure is an entry-level, economical desktop SEM useful for many different applications, whether it be in teaching environments, simple R&D, or for general imaging. The Pure provides a straightforward imaging solution to visualize sample features, surfaces, and structures and is a user-friendly tool to seamlessly transition from light optical to electron microscopy.
