Your Insight into the Technology Behind It
Capitalize on Gemini Optical Design
The GeminiSEM family is based on more than 20 years spent perfecting ZEISS Gemini technology. That means you can count on total and efficient detection, excellent resolution and superb ease-of-use. The Gemini objective lens design combines electrostatic and magnetic fields to maximize optical performance while reducing field influences at the sample to a minimum. This enables excellent imaging, even on challenging samples such as magnetic materials. In-lens — the Gemini detection concept — ensures efficient signal detection by detecting secondary (SE) and backscattered (BSE) electrons in parallel. Inlens detectors are arranged on the optical axis, which reduces the need for realignment and thus minimizes time-to-image. Gemini beam booster technology guarantees small probe sizes and high signal-to-noise ratios, right down to very low accelerating voltages. It also minimizes system sensitivity to external stray fields by keeping the beam at high voltage throughout the column until its final deceleration. These advance features — the GEMIN objective, In-lens detection and beam booster technology — are shared by GeminiSEM 360, GeminiSEM 460 and GeminiSEM 560.
