Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) excels through strength, wear resistance and toughness - characteristics that make ADI the material of choice for use in combustion engines and gear box components.
Helium ion microscopy (HIM) offers the ability to carry out both high precision ion machining and sub-nanometer resolution imaging with high surface sensitivity in order to inspect patterns created in graphene.
The NPVE combines extensive, flexible NanoPatterning capability with increasingly vital Visualization of signals generated by the patterning beam, bringing together a wealth of information which complements the existing imaging capabilities of the CrossBeam® instruments.
The SEM Visualization Engine (SEM-VE) combines a 16 bit scan generator and dual super-sampling signal acquisition hardware with image processing and control software for your Zeiss electron microscope.
As nanoscale tools become more sophisticated, so does our ability to design and to assemble increasingly complex, precise supramolecular structures and devices.
