The industry-leading PORT MOUNTED nanomanipulators for FIB and SEM instruments include this model integrating 100nm closed-loop encoder feedback control for accuracy, flexibility and ease of use.
The industry-leading PORT MOUNTED nanomanipulators for FIB and SEM instruments include this model integrating 100nm closed-loop encoder feedback control for accuracy, flexibility and ease of use. Manipulation with a closed-loop system is completely independent of the microscope’s stage positioning, enabling an extra degree of freedom for sample manipulation. Patented solutions leverage this with custom combined stage and probe (CSP) recipes to achieve fast sample repositioning to specific angles.
Concentrically-corrected rotation with 0.1degree resolution enables the sample to be imaged during rotation at a magnification equivalent to a 60um horizontal field of view.
