Acquire detailed images quickly and easily.
EDS element analysis.
Use the Phenom Programming Interface (PPI) to control the Phenom XL G2, using Python scripting to handle common tasks. You can automatically analyse:
“For a typical factory acceptance test, critical dimension and sidewall thickness must be measured approximately 85 times, which would take a user a full working day. Tasked with biweekly factory acceptance tests, we needed to improve the output and efficiency of our laboratory. Phenom XL desktop SEM gave us better data that were far more stable and more reliable than our own.”

The cerium hexaboride (CeB₆) electron source has several advantages compared to tungsten:
Tilting and rotating the sample can give you new insights. An optional eucentric sample holder is available to tilt and rotate the sample while maintaining position and focus.
An optional energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) detector is available for the Phenom XL G2 desktop SEM, for additional material insights and element identification using X-ray analysis, without switching to a different system. This adds useful compositional information to electron microscope images, covering almost all elements on the periodic table from Boron to Americium.
This uses a dedicated software package with a user-friendly step-by-step process to guide you through acquisition. Smart algorithms and automated peak analysis identify element automatically, with manual adjustments possible at any time.
