The Thermo Scientific™ Axia™ ChemiSEM™ Scanning Electron Microscope is unlike traditional SEMs in that it always collects EDS data in the background. It uses unique algorithms to
process the SEM and EDS signals simultaneously, allowing it to display the morphology and elemental makeup of a sample together, in real time. It constantly processes EDS data in the background, giving you live updates on elemental data, as it is acquired. Elements found in your sample can be toggled on and off, allowing you to isolate areas of interest.
The Axia ChemiSEM Scanning Electron Microscope features a superior user experience enhanced by automation, such as SmartAlign technology for alignment-free operation, newly developed automatic functions, and live quantitative EDS mapping. This always-on processing make analysis twice as fast, compared to traditional methods. The Axia ChemiSEM Scanning Electron Microscope puts SEM/EDS analysis within reach of a wider scientific audience, speeds up your workflow, and saves time on training.
Live quantitative elemental mapping – Always-on EDS means you can view elemental information at any time without switching techniques.
Easy to get started – The platform is always ready to image. Helpful guidance, alignment-free operation allows you to focus on your data
Flexible Sample. Loading– For samples up 10kg, with x-y movement, and fully opening door
Excellent imaging performance Easily handle a wide range of applications, including charging samples with Low Vac operation and advanced beam scanning
Software for diverse applications – Handle advanced applications with system automation options such as Thermo Scientific Maps, and customise workflow development with AutoScript.
Easy maintenance – Source exchange can be completed easily by users of any experience level. Straightforward design gives you high up-time, with rapid service when attention is needed.
