Imaging and Analysis

What we offer

Imaging

We provide sample imaging of any sample that is stable in a vacuum. If your sample is non-conductive it will be lightly sputter coated with gold. Imaging zoom ranges from 160x - 105,000x.

High Resolution Imaging

Need higher resolution or more area to analyze? We offer high resolution: 50-200+ megapixels. Perfect for high-zoom analysis or for posters.

3D Roughness Analysis

We provide 3D roughness information about any part of the sample surface. This includes a report with average roughness of the sample surface along with roughness measurements of up to five different custom paths.

EDS/EDX Elemental Composition Analysis

We provide elemental analysis on any part of the sample surface. This includes a report with the elemental percentage breakdown along with an elemental spectrum reading. Optional additional charge to EDS color map a region of the sample.
