INNOVATIONS IN LASERFIB 3D MICROSCOPY

Innovation Breakthroughs in AI-driven X-ray & LaserFIB 3D microscopy

Advancing Correlative Studies in Materials Research

Nature Research is hosting a webcast on the latest 3D X-ray, LaserFIB and AI-driven microscopy, "Of needles & haystacks" and how they can advance your materials research studies.

In this free nature webcast, you will learn about how to:

Learn more about the technology
  • Use a unique correlative LaserFIB workflow to identify, access, prepare and analyze your needle in the haystack.
  • Correlate multiple scales and modalities, perform X-ray guided site selection and get insights into representativeness of the chosen sample site.
  • Perform analyses with the imaging or analytical capabilities of the fs laser powered FIB-SEM (LaserFIB) or prepare samples for further analysis using techniques such as nanoCT.

Target multiple ROIs

With High Accuracy and Speed

Access regions of interest (ROI) that are hidden under the surface directly, revealing all structural details in a wide range of material types. Whether a hard or soft material, nanoscience, engineering or energy materials, conducting or insulating material: LaserFIB machines your sample at unprecedented speed.

Applications include cross-sections microstructural visualization and image analysis, various TEM sample preparations like extremely large H-bars, batch preparation of pillars e.g. titanium alloy for micromechanical testing or atom probe tomgraphy samples.

A LaserFIB, a combination of a ZEISS FIB-SEM and laser, enables you to localize ROIs in 3D, access deeply buried structures, ablate or process large volumes in a dedicated laser chamber, finalize preparation with the gallium beam of the FIB and do 3D imaging and analytics. Add a femtosecond laser to your ZEISS Crossbeam and benefit from ultrafast sample preparation.

Massive Material Removal

Automatically Access Deeply Buried Structures

Automated shuttling and laser processing in a separate chamber lets you save time and increase throughput, whilst scripting enables automated workflow creation, boosting efficiency in your experiments.

Thanks to the ultrashort pulse duration of the femtosecond laser, LaserFIB reaches highest removal rates of up to 15 mio. µm³ per second. These high ablation rates are ideal to prepare samples for further FIB machining with ZEISS Crossbeam, complementing LaserFIB with the highest precision at an even smaller scale (few nm – few 10 µm).

Execute Long-Term Automated Workflows

Ablate volumes of 10x10x10 mm3 without interruption

Perform laser processing in a dedicated chamber integrated to your LaserFIB and combine it with a tool that extends runtimes, enables consistent laser power and maintains ablation rates.

The new cross-jet, a gas flow of either nitrogen or argon, prevents ablated material to deposit on the protective glass under. This enables working for more than 8 hours continuously.

This image shows the step with the cross-jet activated and the materials redepositon around the trench, in the next step this will be cleaned.
Laser milled trench in silicon using the cross-jet and a final laser cleaning step. This enables reliable and clean prepation especially in batch processing as it takes off redosited material eventually.
The image to the left shows a silicon sample after the preparation with the cross-jet activated and the material redeposition around the trench. The right image shows the surface of the sample after the cleaning scan with the laser.

Prepare FIB-SEM Ready Structures

Polish and clean surfaces using the fs laser

Automatically polish and clean laser-cut surfaces using pre-installed recipes for various materials such as silicon or steel. Clean the surface of your sample of ablated debris with the laser beam. Transfer the sample automatically into the FIB-SEM chamber for further analytics.

Use the new Burst Mode to further increase ablation rates.
