ThermoFisher Phenom Pharos STEM Holder

The Thermo Scientific™ Phenom Pharos™ Desktop SEM has earned a reputation for its versatility and high-quality imaging performance—even with traditionally difficult samples. Its intuitive user interface helped bring high-resolution imaging to a broad audience, and its FEG source delivers that resolution over the full acceleration voltage range, even as low as 1 kV.

The STEM Sample Holder for the Phenom Pharos Desktop SEM adds another dimension of imaging capabilities, making application diversity even more accessible and expanding advanced imaging to all levels of microscopy expertise.

The STEM Sample Holder uses the brightness of the FEG source to image very thin samples in transmission mode. The high-energy electrons penetrate the electron-transparent sample and are detected below the sample. Any conventional 3 mm diameter sample can be easily loaded under the clamp, allowing for quick and safe sample exchange. Depending on the imaging mode, different types of signals can be individually detected. The STEM sample holder offers the standard brightfield (BF), dark-field (DF), and high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) images options and custom configuration is possible.
