Phenom Pharos Desktop STEM

The phenom pharos G2 is designed to be the most accessible electron microscopy instrument in MEM-C. It is capable of delivering high resolution images at the level of traditional SEM. This instrument expands its acceleration voltage range down to 1 kV, and up to 20 kV to accommodate insulating and beam-sensitive samples revealing the finest details with a resolution of up to 2 nm for secondary electron (SE) detector and 3 nm for back scattered electron detector (BSE). It integrates an energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy detector (EDS) as well for chemical characterization and analysis. Additionally, a stage for STEM analysis is available for high-angle annular dark field (HAADF), dark field (DF), and bright field (BF) imaging. This desktop SEM/STEM instrument is designed to be available for users with any background with an accessible operation procedure including sample loading and imaging acquisition thanks to its user-friendly software.

Capabilities

  • User-friendly operation software with default settings, designed to be accessible for non-microscopy background users.
  • 5 kV, 10 kV, 15 kV, and 20 kV acceleration voltages available with high vacuum, medium vacuum and low vacuum modes.
  • SE, BSE, and EDS detectors for SEM mode.
  • HAADF, DF, and BF detectors for STEM mode.
  • Sample size up to 25mm and sample high up to 35mm
