Used FEI Helios 400S #9244691 for sale

FEI Helios 400S is a readily available, versatile and easy-to-use ion milling equipment for sample preparation, designed for both industrial and research-level applications. It features a field emission ion source, a high-resolution imaging system, and an advanced software package that automates the sample preparation workflow. Helios 400S utilizes a field emission ion source, powered by a 400 kW cold emitter gun, to deliver controlled ion milling of the sample surface at precise intervals. This ion milling process selectively removes the surface layer material of the sample, leaving behind the desired structure underneath. The exposed surface layer is then examined through the use of the included high-resolution imaging unit. Positioning of the sensors is adjustable, giving the user control over the imaging process with two different views. FEI Helios 400S utilizes a unique multi-robot machine to control the ion milling process. A motorized manipulator relocates the sample after each step of the process, while the robotic chamber door moves the sample into the ion milling chamber. Helios 400S also includes an advanced software package, the 'Smart Mill', which facilitates setup and motors automated, user-defined job steps to ensure precision and reproducibility in the sample processing. FEI Helios 400S tool is capable of handling a wide range of work materials, including abrasive and fragile materials such as ceramics and polymers. A number of workpiece and sample sizes can be accommodated, making the asset suitable for large or small scale applications. Because of its unique design and versatility, Helios 400S makes the perfect choice for preparing high precision samples in both industrial and research-driven settings.
