Used FEI Expida 1255 #293762628 for sale

FEI Expida 1255 is a fully automated ion milling equipment designed for advanced nanofabrication applications. The system consists of a magnetically-levitated nanopositioner, an automated milling chamber, and a Liquid Metal Ion Source (LMIS). The LMIS is an innovative ion source design, capable of producing highly focused and controlled ions with extremely high energy. The very small angle of incidence of the ion beam, along with the focused ion beam nature of the LMIS, makes Expida 1255 suitable for advanced nanostructuring applications, where resolution is paramount and demands the highest precision available in machining. The unit also features a wide dynamic range, enabling it to achieve very high material removal rates at the same time as extremely high resolution. The nanopositioner of FEI Expida 1255 offers extremely high repeatability and very low drift, making it possible to precisely and accurately target nanostructures at nanolevel precision. Furthermore, the nanopositioner is not mechanically-driven, making it completely vibration-free and minimising the possibility of low-level background noise resulting from ion-slicing. With automatic focus calibration and a fully automated programmable milling process, Expida 1255 offers fully automated nanofabrication with the highest precision currently available in the field of ion milling. The LMIS also offers superior material compatibility and a wide range of process parameters, making it ideal for use with a variety of materials including metals, aluminium alloys, indium tin oxide (ITO), polycarbonates, and polyimides. FEI Expida 1255 is designed to be easily integrated into existing laboratory and production environments, allowing users to work confidently and quickly without having to first spend time setting up complex and time-consuming systems. This also makes it possible to both fabricate and inspect nanostructures with the same machine without having to invest in additional complex pieces of equipment. Overall, Expida 1255 is a powerful and highly advanced ion milling tool, perfect for applications such as thin film disc fabrication, patterning of atolelectronic substrates, and nanolithography. With superb control on the motion of the narrow beam, consistency of results and automated operation, FEI Expida 1255 is an ideal choice for advanced nanofabrication.
