FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JEOL Ltd. (Gon’emon Kurihara, President) announced a new desktop scanning electron microscope, JCM-6000 “NeoScopeTM” to be distributed in April 2012.
[ Background ]
JEOL's JCM-5000 NeoScope, since it was announced, has been widely used by electronics manufacturers, including semiconductor device makers, as a desktop scanning electron microscope featuring the same ease of operation as optical microscopes for inspection of the products developed and processed by micro technologies. The new JCM-6000 "NeoScopeTM," is a touch panel controlled, multi functional desktop scanning microscope that answers the increasingly diversified needs among users worldwide.
[ Features ]
1) Simple operation
- Easy touch panel operation
- A complete range of automated functions (auto focus, auto stigmator, auto contrast/brightness)
- Easy, dependable auto gun alignment (filament centering)
2) Enhanced low vacuum capability
- Enhanced quality of backscattered electron images
- Easy observation of non conductive samples in the direct low vacuum mode
- Only 2 minutes 30 seconds from sample loading to imaging
3) New capabilities for imaging
- Secondary electron imaging and backscattered electron imaging supported at high vacuum
- Dual frame imaging to facilitate comparison of live and retrieved images
- A wide magnification range from the lowest 10x for wide area of view up to 60,000x
4) A complete line of optional accessories
- Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer
- Tilt/rotation motor drive specimen holder
*Both options are retrofittable
5) Compact, light, and energy saving
- Base unit: 330mm (W) x 490mm (D) x 430mm (H); 50 kg
- Utility: Single phase 100 V to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 700 to 960 VA
