  3. EBSD
  4. C-Swift+

C-Swift+

The C-Swift+ is a high-speed and versatile entry-level EBSD detector designed for routine materials analysis and high throughput sample characterisation.
The C-Swift+ benefits from many of the features that have made the Symmetry such a groundbreaking EBSD detector including, of course, a customised CMOS sensor designed for EBSD.

Full overview >

  • Guaranteed indexing speeds of > 2000 pps

  • 622 x 512 pixel EBSPs at 250 pps

  • Fibre optics delivering extreme sensitivity for low energy and low current analyses

  • Distortion free images

The C-Swift+ is a class-leading, high throughput EBSD detector. As with the Symmetry S3 detector, the C-Swift+ uses a customised CMOS sensor coupled with fibre optics, to deliver both speed and sensitivity, ensuring high quality results on even the most challenging materials.

The C-Swift+’s maximum speed of 2000 pps is achieved with good pattern resolution (156 x 128 pixels), representing 4 times the number of pixels than is used by a comparable CCD-based detector operating at much lower speeds, ensuring reliable indexing, high hit rates and impressive throughput on all types of samples. The distortion-free optics, in partnership with the powerful indexing algorithms in the AZtec software, enables the C-Swift+ to deliver excellent angular precision down below 0.05°. For applications that demand higher quality patterns, the C-Swift+ can collect 622 x 512 pixel patterns at speeds up to 250 pps, making it ideal for complex multi-phase samples and detailed phase analysis.

This is a detector that has been designed for fast, effective sample characterisation. Every component of the system, from the unique proximity sensor to the optional integrated forescatter detectors, has been designed to maximise performance and ease of use, and to make EBSD a standard tool in every laboratory.

The C-Swift+ detector sets a new standard when speed is key:

  • Guaranteed indexing speeds of > 2000 pps using only 8 nA beam current
  • Exceptional sensitivity delivered by fibre optics and an optimised phosphor screen, ensuring high quality patterns at low doses and low beam energies – resulting in maximum spatial resolution
  • 156 x 128 pixel pattern resolution at maximum speed – 4 times more pixels than a fast CCD detector operating at slower speeds
  • Full resolution (622 x 512) patterns – ideal for detailed phase and deformation analyses
  • Low distortion optics, ensuring an angular precision better than 0.05°.
  • Seamless EDS integration even at the highest speeds
  • Bellows SEM interface, maintaining the microscope’s vacuum integrity
  • Unique proximity sensor – detects potential collisions before they happen and automatically moves the detector to a safe position
  • Simple and intuitive detector settings, ensuring optimum results every time
  • Five integrated forescatter detectors (optional), providing full colour complementary channelling contrast and atomic number contrast images.
