Used FEI Helios NanoLab 1200 #9312072 for sale

FEI Helios NanoLab 1200 is a versatile ion milling system that can be used to manipulate the surface of a wide range of materials including crystalline and polymeric nanoparticles. It is an advanced ion source capable of producing nano-scale size modifications in the range of 15-200 nm. The system is equipped with a high-torque motorized micromanipulator and an objective lens to allow precise positioning of the focused ion beam (FIB) beam to targeted locations. The nano-to-micron resolution of the microscope allows easy visualization and characterization of the sample surface morphology. Ion beam induced heating up to 2000 oC can also be used to create thermal microstructures such as nano- to micro-grooves. Helios NanoLab 1200 is equipped with several ion gun sources to maximize the versatility of the system. The primary source is liquid metals which are introduced into a heated crucible, and upon bombardment by the FIB, the liquid metal is vaporized and ionized with the ions then directed towards the sample. Alternatively, gas-phase ions and vaporized liquid metal ions can be injected into an ion trap. This ion trap is also used to deliver molecular ions capable of delivering precise ion beam shapes and sizes and thus high aspect ratio structures. The ion beam can then be tuned to achieve the desired surface topography or for ion imaging purposes. The dual piezo scanner used in FEI Helios NanoLab 1200 allows fast, three-dimensional imaging and milling of the sample surface. It can be used to precisely control imaging parameters such as working distance, field of view, and voltage. Furthermore, it enables fast and accurate sample characterization as well as fabrication of precise structures. In addition, Helios NanoLab 1200 employs integrated imaging and analysis tools for the chemical, elemental, and crystalline characterization of the sample surface. It also features advanced process automation capabilities, from ion beam milling to sample deposition, and a full Ethernet interface for easy networking and remote operation. With its state-of-the-art features, FEI Helios NanoLab 1200 is a reliable and versatile tool for creating complex nanostructures.
