Features

Additive manufacturing testing

The Phenom ParticleX AM Desktop SEM measures particle size and shape (diameter, perimeter, aspect ratio, roughness, Feret diameter) and displays results as d10, d50, and d90 values.

SEM particle analysise

The Phenom ParticleX AM Desktop SEM offers a 100 mm x 100 mm chamber with a fast motorized stage. Its proprietary loading shuttle delivers a 60-second vent/load cycle, providing superior throughput.

SEM elemental mapping

Single-click elemental mapping and line scans provide quantified element distribution via a line plot, useful for analyzing edges, coatings, and multilayer samples.

Secondary electron detector

The optional SED on the Phenom ParticleX AM Desktop SEM provides detailed surface information by collecting low-energy electrons, useful for topography and morphology analysis, especially for microstructures, fibers, and particles.
