A true analytical tabletop scanning electron microscope
The NANOS tabletop SEM offers high quality imaging at a low cost of ownership with integrated energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) for rapid elemental analysis. It is designed for easy installation, ease of use and easy servicing.
Magnificent imaging
Making SEM accessible for anyone, everywhere
The NANOS is a comprehensive and affordable tabletop scanning electron microscope (SEM). It is engineered using the latest technology, giving fast and high quality SEM images and elemental analysis. Its design is robust and modern, which makes it perfect for research & development, educational and industrial usage.
Configuration
The NANOS is delivered with BSD, SED, integrated EDS and a Eucentric tilt stage.
Design
The NANOS has a robust modern design & is engineered using the latest materials and components.
Servicing
The NANOS design allows easy access for maintenance and upgrades which can be completed at your premises.
Robust
With excellent stability and a small footprint the architecture of the NANOS ensures it can be used in non-laboratory environments.
Ease of use
In BASIC mode the NANOS will produce results in a short period of time, regardless of experience. ADVANCED mode provides further functionality for detailed analysis.
Cost of ownership
The NANOS has been engineered to keep the cost of ownership lower than any benchtop SEM currently available.

Eucentric stage
The Eucentric Stage of the NANOS is truly the only one of its kind. It comes standard with the NANOS. The motorized XY movements can be controlled via the User Interface. Tilting the specimen while in SEM mode can be done by manually turning the stage. Thanks to the eucentric design, the sample stays in focus without the need for intermediate changes in SEM settings. The User Interface indicates the exact tilt angle. Samples can be tilted up to angles of 55 ̊.
Elemental analysis
The NANOS is equipped with a fully integrated Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) Silicon Drift Detector (SDD). Via the User Interface operator can select EDX Point Analysis or activate Elemental Mapping.
Electron Detectors
The NANOS comes with both a Secondary Electron Detector (SED) and a Back Scattered Electron Detector (BSD) as standard. The BSD is a 4-quadrant detector with fully controllable independent segments. By utilizing the segments in different combinations, it provides compositional or topographical detail from the sample, as well as images with a ‘shading-effect’ by highlighting the surface from multiple directions.
