Features
High performance, resolution, and contrast
The combination of advanced optics, detection and automation in Apreo 2 makes obtaining high resolution imaging possible even for users new to SEM.
Wide range of sample types
Apreo 2 was designed for maximum flexibility. High quality, high resolution imaging is possible regardless of target samples properties. Insulators, beam sensitive or magnetic materials can all be imaged with ease thanks to Apreo 2's unique optics, detection and beam control options.
Live quantitative EDS with ChemiSEM
Elemental information at your fingertips with ChemiSEM, which provides live quantitative elemental mapping for unprecedented time to result and ease of use.
Quick and easy sample loading
Easy access to the stage, a convenient multi-sample holder, and a fast pump down ensures no time is wasted loading samples. An automated routine to insert and remove a pressure limiting aperture (PLA) allows for a seamless switch between high and low vacuum without opening the chamber.
Advanced automation
From optics, to image acquisition, Apreo 2 provides a range of automated features to make imaging time as effective and efficient as possible. Flash Technology automates image fine tuning The unique Undo function permits efficient exploration of imaging conditions Thermo Scientific Maps software automates large area acquisition with up to 4 different simultaneous signals.
Performance at long working distance
Apreo 2 is the only SEM that offers high-resolution performance (1nm) and excellent image quality at analytical working distance (10mm). Sample morphology, topography and surface information can all be simultaneously explored while being at a safe distance from the pole piece. Thanks to its high-speed and high-sensitivity in-lens backscattered detector, BSE are still detected even at extremely low beam currents (as low as few pA).
