Over the years, scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) have served as an important tool for quality control. Many of our Industrial Partners use SEMs to investigate defects and impurities at the microscopic level, to make accurate adjustments to the production process. Ensuring every product is built to the same high-quality standards.

In the past, researchers have been required to perform the same repetitive steps to analyse every object; consuming valuable time, slowing down the production process, and increasing the risk of human error.

New automation solutions within desktop SEMs are helping to solve these problems. Phenom desktop SEMs make it possible for users to perform in-house quality control while automating the repetitive steps in their workflows. The newly available Phenom XL G2 Desktop SEM takes automation to the next level; giving you the flexibility to customise the system and relay fast accurate information back to your team.

The Phenom XL G2 Desktop SEM offers a versatile solution for automating the quality control process. Users can obtain high-quality images in just 40 seconds—three times faster than other desktop SEM systems on the market. Offering an improved resolution of 10 nanometers, the system enables more resolving power and the ability to explore large samples of up to 100 by 100 millimeters.

The highly intuitive system extends quality checks to a broader number of users.

A key feature of the Phenom XL G2 is its easy-to-use, intuitive user interface (UI) combining two screens into one for viewing images and performing analysis. With one simple click on the impurity, users can see what elements are present using the live energy-dispersive X-ray (EDS) analysis. The optical navigation camera makes it possible to view the entire sample while the user is in SEM mode.

Requiring little lab space, the Phenom XL G2’s condensed size allows users to place the microscope exactly where it’s needed—whether that’s in the lab or on the production line for real-time analyses.

With the Phenom XL G2, quality control managers can automate their repetitive workflow needed to analyse particles, pores, fibres, and large SEM images. The result is faster, more accurate analysis, more time for value-added work, and the assurance that only the highest quality products make it into customers’ hands.
