Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM) enables nanoparticle research that has applications in medical devices, electronics, green energy, and catalysis. FEG-SEM gives insight into a surface material’s shape, size, and chemical composition. FEG-SEM provides not only higher resolution than other scanning electron microscopy (SEM) sources (CeB6 and W) but also greater versatility. Due to the high performance at low acceleration voltage of FEG compared to other SEM electron sources, FEG-SEM makes it possible to image insulating and beam-sensitive materials without sample preparation and without damaging or obscuring nanoscale features.
The Thermo Scientific Phenom Pharos G2 Desktop SEM progresses nanomaterial research by delivering high resolutions and a wide acceleration voltage range, all in a desktop system that can fit within a lab or office. From more advanced textiles and food packaging to improved solar and wind energy, this easy-to-use instrument supports rapid innovation for a wide range of industries. The Phenom Pharos G2 Desktop SEM is intuitive to operate and highly productive, making it a versatile instrument for high-volume industrial and academic labs.
