Today, Carl Zeiss launches SIGMA VP, which adds variable pressure technology to the range of SIGMA field emission scanning electron microscopes (FE-SEM). Featuring the Carl Zeiss GEMINI® column, proven VP technology and a design with analytical accessories in mind, the SIGMA VP provides a comprehensive analytical solution for a constantly growing diversity of applications.
The chamber includes the provision for all WDS variants as well as a geometry suitable for coplanar EDS and EBSD analysis. The SIGMA VP is compatible with a wealth of accessories including the Carl Zeiss BSD and VPSE G3 detectors, which provide exceptional imaging of non-conducting specimens.
The customer benefits of the SIGMA VP are a combination of outstanding flexibility and unrivalled ease of use with respect to both image acquisition and analytical applications.
