Product Overview

Phenom Pro G7 desktop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is a high-performance SEM for imaging and analysis.

Phenom Pro G7 SEM is designed for extreme ease of use and enables the fastest imaging of samples. The proprietary venting/loading mechanism supports the highest throughput and ensures a time-to- image of less than 30 seconds. The unique optical navigation camera displays a view of the entire sample and allows the user to move to any spot on the sample with just a single click.

The high brightness cerium hexaboride (CeB6) electron source reduces maintenance costs, lasting 30 times longer than traditional tungsten filaments. In combination with the four-segment Backscatter detector (BSD) yields sharp images together with chemical contrast information. A secondary electron detector (SED) is optionally available. The SED collects low energy electrons from the top surface layer of the sample making it ideal for studying surfaces of micro structures, nano structures or particles.

A key feature of the Phenom Pro G7 is its easy-to-use, intuitive user interface (UI). Based on the proven ease-of-use technology already applied in the series, the workflow for the analysis software is now integrated meaning users can view images and perform analysis simultaneously on a single screen. Operating the SEM has been made easier via the interactive databar and overlay structure. The interface enables both existing and new users to quickly become familiar with the system with less training.

The Phenom Pro G7 can be upgraded to Phenom ProX G7 with fully integrated X-Ray analysis (Energy Dispersive Spectrometer, EDS) that allows the user to quickly identify and assess the distribution of elements in a sample. Additional sample holders allow for both conductive and non-conductive samples to analysed without the need for coating. Options are also available for sample tilting and cooling.

Further analysis is provided using optional ChemiSEM Technology, PPI/PPA,  Maps 3, and ProSuite software which includes ParticleMetric, PoroMetric, FiberMetric and 3D Roughness Reconstruction.

The Phenom SEM covers a wide range of applications such as Forensic investigation, Material characterisation, Metallurgy analysis, Process control, Pharmaceutical and Industrial research and more.

The Phenom Pro G7 is a user friendly and affordable tool that bridges the gap between the optical microscope and ultra-high resolution microscopes.

Demonstration Video

Benefits

All in one imaging and analysis

Compact desktop SEM with X-ray (EDS) analysis that needs little space and no extra facilities. Sample structures can be physically examined and their elemental composition determined. Offload work from your floor-model SEMs and expand research capabilities.

Super-fast

After loading the sample an instant optical image is received followed by an electron image in < 30 seconds.

Ease of use with “never lost” sample navigation

Equipped with an optical colour microscope the user can swiftly navigate to any region of interest with just a single click and keep the image overview of the sample.

Low maintenance

The long lifetime, high brightness thermionic source (CeB6 ) enables extremely stable operation and has a typical operational lifetime of 3000 hours, which is ideal for maximum useability, serviceability and uptime.

Multiple detectors for additional information
Back-Scatter Detector (BSD) yields sharp images and provides chemical contrast information. An optional Secondary Electron Detector (SED) enables surface sensitive imaging.

Acceleration voltages can be adjusted: 2 kV, 5 kV, 10 kV, 15 kV, 20 kV.

Intuitive software

  • ChemiSEM Technology – provides real-time, color-coded elemental mapping.
  • PPI/PPA – Programming Interface (API) that enables users to control Phenom desktop SEM through Python scripting.
  • ProSuite –  includes applications such as ParticleMetric, PoroMetric, FiberMetric and 3D Roughness Reconstruction.
  • Maps 3 Software – automates acquisition of large datasets, including SEM imaging and EDS mapping, and seamlessly stiches and aligns them to provide detailed images across large sample areas.
