Helios 5 UX DualBeam for Materials Science

The Thermo Scientific™ Helios™ 5 UX DualBeam is part of the fifth generation of the industry-leading Helios DualBeam family. It is carefully designed to meet the needs of scientists and engineers, combining the innovative Elstar™ electron column with high-current UC+ technology for extreme high-resolution imaging and the highest materials contrast with the superior Thermo Scientific™ Phoenix™ Focused Ion Beam (FIB) Column for the fastest, easiest and most precise high-quality sample preparation. In addition to the most advanced electron and ion optics, the Helios 5 UX DualBeam incorporates a suite of state of-the-art technologies that enables simple and consistent high resolution S/TEM and Atom Probe Tomography (APT) sample preparation, as well as the highest-quality subsurface and 3D characterization, even on the most challenging samples.

• High-quality, site-specific, sample preparation for TEM and APT using the new high throughput Tomahawk HT Ion Column
• Fastest and easiest, fully automated, unattended, multisite in situ and ex situ TEM sample preparation and cross sectioning using optional AutoTEM 5 Software
• Shortest time to nanoscale information for users with any experience level using best-in-class Elstar Electron Column featuring SmartAlign and FLASH technologies
• Reveal the finest details with the next-generation UC+ monochromator technology with higher current, enabling sub-nanometer performance at low energies
• The most complete sample information with sharp, refined and charge-free contrast obtained from up to six integrated in-column and below-the-lens detectors
• The highest-quality, multi-modal subsurface and 3D information with the most precise targeting of the region of interest using optional Auto Slice & View 4 (AS&V4) Software
• Fast, accurate and precise milling and deposition of complex structures with critical dimensions of less than 10 nm
• Precise sample navigation tailored to individual application needs thanks to the high stability and accuracy of 150 mm Piezo stage and in-chamber Nav-Cam Camera
• Artifact-free imaging based on integrated sample cleanliness management and dedicated imaging modes such as DCFI and SmartScan Modes
