the next generation tabletop SEM

A user-friendly tabletop scanning electron microscope for anyone who wants to learn more about their material.

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. The NANOS offers direct access to SEM imaging and analysis, eliminating the need for outsourcing. It also suits well for offloading routine analysis of common samples from floormodel SEM instruments. With its excellent stability, robust design, and small footprint, it can be used in any laboratory environment without specific infrastructure.
