Dental Research
Dental SEM

Dental Research into new composite materials used in fillings, veneers and false teeth continues apace, with focus on how these materials behave over a period of time.

The ease of use and minimal sample preparation of the Phenom enable it to image dental composite materials and microscopic tubules in dentine. The speed of sample loading ensures many samples can be measured quickly and easily.

Pharmaceutical
Pharmaceutical SEM

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 25nm, the Phenom Desktop SEM will clearly identify and compare the morphology of fine particles, powders or deposits for new formulations.

Micromachining & Micro Manufacturing
Micromachining SEM

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 25nm resolution and 45,000x 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
Failure Analysis SEM

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.

Automotive Industry
Automotive SEM

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 Manufacturing
Stent SEM

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.

Metallurgical Applications
Metallurgical SEM

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.

Paper Manufacture
Paper 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.

Forensics
Forensic SEM

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.

Insect Anatomy
Insect 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.

Micro Electronics
Microelectronics SEM

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.
