    The Nexsa G2 System: An Introduction with Tim Nunney

    Key Features

    High-performance X-ray source

    High-performance X-ray source

    A new, low-power X-ray monochromator allows selection of the analysis area from 10 µm to 400 µm in 5 µm steps, ensuring data is collected from the feature of interest while maximizing the signal.

    Optimized electron optics

    Optimized electron optics

    The high-efficiency electron lens, hemispherical analyzer, and detector allow for superb detectability and rapid data acquisition.

    Sample viewing

    Sample viewing

    Bring sample features into focus with the Nexsa XPS System's patented optical viewing system and XPS SnapMap, which helps you pinpoint areas of interest quickly using a fully focused XPS image. 

    Insulator analysis

    Insulator analysis

    The patented dual-beam flood source couples low-energy ion beams with very low-energy electrons (less than 1 eV) to prevent sample charging during analysis, which eliminates the need for charge referencing, making the analysis of the data from insulating samples easy and reliable. 

    Depth profiling

    Depth profiling

    Go beyond the surface with a standard ion source or MAGCIS, the optional dual-mode monatomic and gas cluster ion source; automated source optimization and gas handling ensure excellent performance and experimental reproducibility.

    Optional sample holders

    Optional sample holders

    Specialist sample holders for angle-resolved XPS, sample bias measurements, or for inert transfer from a glove box are available.

    Digital Control

    Digital Control

    Instrument control, data processing, and reporting are all controlled from the Windows Software-based Avantage data system. 

    NX sample heater module

    Fully software-controlled sample heating option, enabling temperature-dependent studies.
