The NeoScope benchtop SEM economically complements both optical microscopes and traditional SEMs. The NeoScope makes it easy to obtain high magnification images with high resolution and large depth of field using a microscope that is as simple to operate as a digital camera, but has the powerful electron optics of an SEM.

Whether used by trained electron microscopists as a simple screening instrument, or by lab technicians as a higher resolution alternative to the light microscope, the NeoScope will help accelerate the pace of research in the life sciences, forensics, and failure analysis of manufacturing materials.

Basic operation of the NeoScope is simple with auto focus, auto contrast and auto brightness controls. No special sample preparation, such as coating or drying, is required. The NeoScope operates in both low and high vacuum modes and has three settings for accelerating voltage suitable for a variety of applications, all of which can be programmed in special pre-stored recipe files.

Conductive and non-conductive samples are easily and quickly loaded and imaged as no special sample preparation, ex. specimen coating or drying, is required.

Basic operation through the sophisticated Graphical User Interface (GUI) is as familiar as a digital point and shoot camera with automatic settings for biological and materials samples. Manual control is also available.

Pre-stored parameter files (recipes) allow the user to quickly and automatically set up the NeoScope for a wide variety of samples.

Samples can be loaded and imaged in less than three minutes, without any special sample preparation.

A wide field of view facilitates the identification and correlation of imaging areas from the optical microscope.

Offering image resolution as high as 25nm, NeoScope also offers a depth of field unmatched by optical microscopes for superior live imaging and image capture. Additionally, a magnification range of 10X-20,000X is possible without any adjustments or lens changes.

For a wide range of samples from biological to materials, NeoScope has high vacuum and low vacuum modes, secondary electron and back­scattered electron imaging, and three selectable accelerating voltages of 5, 10, and 15kV.

The specimen stage accommodates samples up to 50mm thick so that clear crisp images are possible even with larger samples.
