Meet ONYX. The largest-stage tabletop SEM.
ONYX features the largest stage in tabletop SEMs, reducing manual handling and supporting efficient, higher-throughput analysis — a platform built for more.
Systems installed in research institutions, industrial labs and defense & aerospace facilities across 30+ countries.
Our products
A full analytical tabletop SEM combining high-resolution imaging, SE & BSE detection and embedded EDS. Compact, robust and intuitive, with no need for dedicated infrastructure and a user-replaceable electron source.
A full analytical tabletop SEM combining high-resolution imaging with integrated EBSD. Eucentric tilt keeps the region of interest in focus, enabling a seamless workflow from imaging to fast, reliable crystallographic analysis.
A large-stage tabletop SEM built for larger samples and higher throughput. High-resolution imaging, SE & BSE detection and embedded EDS, combined with the largest sample stage of any tabletop SEM.
Deep SEM Expertise
Semplor was founded by engineers who spent their careers designing and building scanning electron microscopes at some of the world's leading instrument manufacturers. When we set out to build the NANOS, we started from scratch — applying everything we knew about what labs actually need, and everything we'd learned about what gets in the way. The result is a tabletop SEM built around one principle: professional SEM capability, without the operational complexity that comes with it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Semplor is a scanning electron microscopy company founded by engineers with combined experience at Philips, FEI, ASML and other leading SEM manufacturers. We design and manufacture the NANOS and ONYX tabletop SEMs, combining professional SEM performance with intuitive operation, low maintenance and a compact design.
The NANOS is a compact tabletop SEM offering high-resolution imaging (<8 nm), integrated EDS for elemental analysis and EBSD for crystallographic analysis. Its compact design, intuitive software and low infrastructure requirements make advanced electron microscopy accessible in a standard lab environment.
ONYX is Semplor's XL tabletop SEM, developed for applications that require more sample space without compromising imaging performance. With a 220 × 220 mm chamber, 110 × 110 mm XY travel and 50 mm sample height, ONYX combines a large stage with the simplicity and accessibility of a tabletop SEM.
Semplor systems are designed around ease of use, low maintenance and flexibility. The electron source can be replaced by the user in minutes, while the intuitive interface and plug-and-play installation make the systems accessible to both experienced microscopists and new SEM users. NANOS and ONYX provide two different platform sizes, allowing users to choose the system that best fits their samples and applications.
Yes. The NANOS is available with EBSD for crystallographic analysis and orientation mapping. Its eucentric tilt system allows the sample to move between the standard imaging position and the 70° EBSD position while maintaining the region of interest, working distance and focus, creating a fast and intuitive workflow between SEM imaging and EBSD analysis.
Yes. The electron source can be replaced using a simple alignment tool, without requiring a service visit or specialist. Many other maintenance tasks can also be performed by the user, helping reduce downtime and total cost of ownership.
Semplor SEMs are used in academia, research institutes, industrial quality control and environmental and regulatory testing. Applications include materials characterization, failure analysis, asbestos and fiber identification, particle analysis, forensic investigation, coating analysis, elemental analysis with EDS and crystallographic analysis with EBSD.
