Phenom is a compact, easy to use and affordable Desktop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).

Its innovative touch-screen user interface and control knob let you quickly produce high-quality electron microscope images with minimal training.

Images are saved on a USB memory stick or network storage location for off-line analysis, measurements and distribution.

Phenom's easy to use sample cup holds the sample and positions it at the correct height for imaging.

Once the sample cup is positioned and the door closed, the sample is automatically loaded and an optical image of the sample is shown on the touch screen.

Time from sample load to electron imaging is less than 30 seconds!

Phenom's innovative touch screen user interface lets you quickly produce high-quality electron microscope images with minimal training.

The user can simply navigate around there sample by touching the areas of interest on the screen.

The location cross hairs, highlighted area boxes and overall optical image of the sample provide the user with never lost navigation.

The rotary control knob allows fast and easy adjustment of imaging parameters such as brightness, contrast and magnification.

The control knob also allows the user a fast an easy way of navigating through stored images in the image archive.

Combined with the touch screen interface, the rotary knob provides the user with greater control.

As critical dimensions continue to decrease in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, optical microscopes no longer have adequate resolving power to image these structures.

With an ultimate resolution of 30nm, the Phenom Desktop SEM will clearly identify and compare the morphology of fine particles, powders or deposits for new formulations.

Micromachining and Micro manufacturing are increasingly used to produce structured layers, MEMS devices and micro structures, using lasers, etching and depostion or micro tooling techniques.

With its 30nm resolution and 24,000x magnification the Phenom Desktop SEM can image a wide variety of micro engineered surfaces and devices and provides the user with an on screen feature measurement tool.

Failure analysis is crucial in many manufacturing industries, and has become a vital tool used to develop new products and for the continuous improvement of existing products.

The Phenom Desktop SEM can be used either in Compositional Mode or Topographic Mode to image fractured or failed materails to help determine the cause of the failure.

The Automotive industry combines many advanced technologies such as micro-electronics, micro-tooling, sintered materials and novel metallic structures, all of which can be imaged on with the Phenom Desktop SEM

Automotive customers find the fast sample turn-around and ease of use essential when imaging their samples on the Phenom as part of their critical QA and R&D applications.

Stent manufacturers are continously improving their designs with increasingly complex structures to improve stent integrity and strength and also coating the stents with various drugs.

The Phenom is perfectly suited to imaging both uncoated and coated stents. Stent samples require little or no preparation and the 30 second load time and ease of use ensures it is at home both in Stent QA and R&D applications.

The properties of many engineering materials are mostly governed by a combination of metal composition and the morphology and distribution of key microstructural features.

These features can be observed with conventional optical microscopy. However, the Phenom exceeds the resolution of optical microscopes and eliminates the expense, delay and difficulty associated with operating a traditional SEM.

Processing raw cellulose fibres into finished paper products requires sophisticated lab tools to evaluate paper composition, bonding properties, coatings thicknesses and surface uniformity.

The Phenom Desktop SEM provides the extra magnification levels necessary to see paper fibers, fillers and coatings, and the depth-of-focus to clearly observe 3D surface phenomena.

The Phenom Desktop SEM can easily image a wide variety of forensic samples including gun shot residue, fibres, paint flakes, powders, pollen, bone fragments and epidermal cells.

As the Phenom Desktop SEM is a true walk-up tool, forensic experts can investigate their own samples without out-sourcing to conventional SEM.

The Phenom Desktop SEM reveals microscopic insect anatomical detail and inter specie variations, going far beyond what can be imaged with a conventional optical microscope, but retaining the speed and ease of use.

It can provide high resolution images of these structures including compound eyes, ocelli, arolium, pulvillus, halteres, etc.

Imaging of micro-electronics, solar cells and other wafer-based samples is extremely easy with the Phenom, which has a Microelectronics Sample Holder.

The Microelectronics Sample Holder utilises a unique clamping mechanism, which makes glue or other adhesives obsolete is completely non-destructive and ensures the sample can be reused after imaging.

The Charge Reduction Sample Holder is an optional extra available for any Phenom which significantly reduces the effects of sample charging.

The Charge Reduction Sample Holder works by reducing the pressure in the sample chamber, thereby significantly reducing sample charging effects that can be seen on non-conductive samples.
