Key Features

Configuration

Delivered with BSD, SED, fully embedded 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. Exchanging the tungsten electron source can be done within 20 minutes by yourself.

Ease of use

The NANOS will produce results in a short period of time, regardless of experience. Further functionality for detailed analysis is included.

Low cost of ownership

The NANOS has been engineered to keep the cost of ownership lower than any tabletop SEM currently available.

Robust

With excellent stability and a small footprint the architecture of the NANOS ensures it can be used in non-laboratory environments.
