JEOL USA Sample Preparation Tools

JEOL produces high precision instruments designed to prepare samples prior to imaging with the SEM or TEM.

From Focused Ion Beam (FIB) systems to a benchtop broad ion beam Cross Section Polisher, we offer a selection of specialized instruments to quickly prepare precise cross sections of semiconductor devices, metals, ceramics, multi-layer structures and also environment or beam sensitive materials.

JEOL also offers a line of sputter and evaporative coaters (metal or carbon) that facilitate imaging and analysis of non-conductive samples. These and other peripheral pieces of equipment complement JEOL’s comprehensive line of electron microscopes.

Instruments:

Focused Ion Beam

FIB-SEM

JIB-PS500i

CRYO ARM™ 200

Excimer UV Cleaner

UV Cleaner
Mitigates contamination during observations made with an electron microscope, cleans specimens and tools, and hydrophilizes the specimen surface.
Sample Prep

Ion Cleaner

Ion Cleaner
Prevents specimen contamination, which arises from accumulations of hydrocarbon contaminants when the specimen is irradiated with an electron beam in an electron microscope.
