Used FEI / THERMO FISCHER Helios NanoLab 450S #9248572 for sale

The Thermo Fisher FEI / THERMO FISCHER Helios NanoLab 450S is a broadly capable ion milling system designed to provide a high degree of flexibility and adaptability for sample preparation. The NanoLab 450S is engineered with fully automated milling, collection and analysis modules, making it suitable for a variety of sample types. The main module of the NanoLab 450S consists of an ion source for ion milling, a high vacuum pumping system, RF and DC power supplies, and automatic steel chamber. The ion source produces positively or negatively charged ions to ablate layers from sample surfaces. These ions are then accelerated through the RF and DC accelerators before impinging onto the sample surface below. As the ejected sample material is collected outside the chamber, a high vacuum is maintained inside the chamber to ensure particles do not come in contact with the sample during milling. The NanoLab 450S has multiple control modes which help the user to precisely control the ablation process and alter the properties of the sample. These modes include constant voltage, constant current, and the more advanced Feed-Forward and Advanced Fast Mill modes. The Feed-Forward mode allows the user to program the ion milling process ahead of time, while the Advanced Fast Mill mode utilizes a PID tuner, enabling fast and uniform material removal. The NanoLab also has a two-stage, dry/wet vacuum breaker to ensure controlled and repeatable sample preparation parameters. The NanoLab's control software boasts a range of advanced features. A user-friendly graphical interface makes operation cases like set-up, operation and maintenance straightforward. The software's monitoring and data logging services provide useful information for process optimization and real-time operating conditions. Furthermore, the software is upgradeable with generous memory, allowing users to add new features, monitor more channels, and store large amounts of data. FEI Helios NanoLab 450S is a powerful and versatile ion milling system which provides accurate and repeatable results. It is reliable, easy-to-configure and easy-to-upgrade, making it an ideal choice for users of all experience levels.
