Your Tool for Sample Flexibility

✔ GeminiSEM 360 is the ideal instrument for a core facility, delivering maximum versatility for materials & life science, and industry.

✔ The eponymous electron optical design Gemini 1 brings you the benefit of surface sensitive, high resolution images providing excellent resolution at low voltage and great speed at high probe current.

✔ Gather high resolution, surface- and compositional information, even on sensitive samples by using Inlens secondary and backscatter electron imaging simultaneously.

✔ When aiming to image non-conducting samples under lower vacuum, so-called variable pressure, there is no need to forgo Inlens contrast: NanoVP guarantees maximum versatility enabling Inlens imaging without charging.
