Introduction:

The Thermo Scientific Helios 5 CX DualBeam is carefully designed to meet the needs of scientists and engineers, combining the innovative Elstar electron column for ultra-high-resolution imaging and the highest materials contrast with the superior Thermo Scientific™ Tomahawk HT Focused Ion Beam (FIB) Column for the fastest, easiest, and most precise high-quality sample preparation. In addition to the most advanced electron and ion optics, the Helios 5 CX DualBeam incorporates a suite of state of-the-art technologies that enables simple and consistent high-resolution S/TEM and Atom Probe Tomography (APT) sample preparation, as well as the highest-quality subsurface, even on the most challenging samples. 

 

Features / Applications:

  • Highest-quality, site-specific, sample preparation for TEM and APT using the new high throughput Tomahawk HT Ion Column
  • Fastest and easiest, fully automated, unattended, multisite in situ and ex situ TEM sample preparation and cross sectioning
  • Shortest time to nanoscale information for users with any experience level using best-in-class Elstar Electron Column featuring SmartAlign and FLASH technologies
  • The most complete sample information with sharp, refined and charge-free contrast obtained from up to six integrated in-column and below-the-lens detectors
  • Fast, accurate and precise milling and deposition of complex structures with critical dimensions of less than 10 nm
  • Easiest sample handling and navigation with high flexibility 110 mm stage, multi-purpose sample holder and Nav-Cam+
  • Artifact-free imaging based on integrated sample cleanliness management and dedicated imaging modes

 

Notes to user:

Nonmagnetic Specimen surface must be even and without volatile matter.
