Aerem

Phenom XL G3

Aerem, a hazardous materials testing company in Auckland, New Zealand, has installed a new Phenom XL G3 Desktop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Luxor Carbon Coater to strengthen its asbestos analysis capabilities. Following Cyclone Gabrielle in 2023, Aerem played a key role in supporting cleanup and rebuilding efforts by inspecting sites and identifying asbestos contamination. The Phenom XL G3 will deliver rapid, high-resolution imaging combined with EDS elemental analysis, enabling accurate identification of asbestos fibres that may be overlooked using traditional light microscopy (PLM).

University of Technology Sydney

Phenom Pharos G2

The ANFF-NSW facility at UTS is part of the Australian National Fabrication Facility network, collaborating with the UNSW and the University of Sydney. The Phenom Pharos FEG-SEM installed is providing rapid, high-quality imaging directly in the fabrication environment and overcomes traditional barriers. Its compact, walk-up design delivers image quality comparable to larger SEMs, with a field emission gun (FEG) providing high beam brightness, stability, and a lifetime far exceeding traditional tungsten sources.
