| Zeiss Orion Plus Helium Ion Microscope | HIM is a relatively new scanning particle beam microscopy technique that operates on the same basic principles as scanning electron microscopes.

Complementing this, the ions penetrate deeply into the specimen before scattering, resulting in finely localized secondary electron emission. These characteristics of HIM ultimately deliver its incredible 0.3 nm resolution and extremely high depth of field, surpassing conventional SEM. In addition to secondary electron detection, our HIM is outfitted with a Multichannel Plate Detector (MCP) used for detection of backscattered helium ions and providing excellent material contrasts.
