Microscope Imaging Service—FEI Helios Nanolab 660 FIB-SEM

Confocal microscopy is an optical imaging technique that uses point-by-point illumination and spatial pinhole modulation to remove scattered light from the non-focal plane of the sample, allowing for improved optical resolution and visual contrast compared to traditional imaging methods. CD BioSciences, the imaging experts, can provide you with FEI Helios Nanolab 660 FIB-SEM-based confocal microscopy imaging services.

Name of the Instrument/Platform

FEI Helios Nanolab 660 FIB-SEM

MANUFACTURER:

FEI

MODEL:

Helios NanoLab 660 FIB-SEM

Introduction

Specifications
The Helios NanoLab 660 is a highly flexible platform for high productivity TEM sample preparation and high performance imaging. It is designed to deliver multi-scale, multi-dimensional insights, and down to sub-nm resolution. The combination of automated sequential focused ion beam (FIB) milling and scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging allow for collection of a series of 2D images, which leads to 3D volume reconstructions. The attached Oxford EDX detector provides elemental and chemical analysis that gathers accurate data at the micro- and nanoscales.
Highlights:
1. Elstar electron gun with Schottky thermal field emitter
2. ConstantPower^™ lens technology for higher thermal stability
3. Probe current:
1) E-beam: 0.8 pA - 100 nA
2) I-beam: 0.1 pA - 65 nA
4. Electron beam resolution at optimum WD:
1) 0.6 nm from 15 kV to 2 kV
2) 0.7 nm at 1 kV
3) 1.0 nm at 500 V
5. Electron beam resolution at coincident point:
1) 0.6 nm at 15 kV
2) 0.9 nm at 5 kV
3) 1.2 nm

Summary

The FEI Helios NanoLab 660 features the most recent advances in field emission SEM (FESEM) and focused ion beam (FIB) technologies and their combined use. This DualBeam SEM/FIB is designed for demanding nanoscale work, resolving the finest details (extremely high resolution) in 2D and 3D with clearest contrast, nanoprototyping, and highest quality sample preparation.
