ZEISS Crossbeam 340 and Crossbeam 540 FIB-SEM-Microscopes

The Crossbeam 340 and Crossbeam 540 FIB-SEM-Microscopes from ZEISS provide high productivity with an open 3D nano-workstation. Such microscopes help to expedite tomography runs utilizing up to 100 nA FIB current with unusual spot profiles to link the gap between micro- and nanopatterning.

Crossbeam enables the combination of the imaging and analytical performance of the GEMINI column with the ability of a next-generation FIB utilized for sample preparation and material processing on a nanoscopic scale.

High throughput nanofabrication and nanotomography of even the hardest, chargingor magnetic samples could be achieved by utilizing the open and simply extendable software architecture and the modular platform idea of this 3D nano-workstation.
