K-Alpha X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer features
High-performance X-ray source
The X-ray monochromator allows selection of analysis area from 50 µm to 400 µm in 5 µm steps, fitting it to the feature of interest to maximize the signal.
Optimized electron optics
The high-efficiency electron lens, hemispherical analyzer, and detector allow for superb detectability and rapid data acquisition.
Sample viewing
Bring sample features into focus with the K-Alpha XPS System's patented optical viewing system and XPS SnapMap, which helps you pinpoint areas of interest quickly.
Insulator analysis
The patented dual-beam flood source couples low-energy ion beams with very low energy electrons (less than 1 eV) to prevent sample charging during analysis, which eliminates the need, in most cases, for charge referencing.
Depth profiling
Go beyond the surface with the EX06 ion source. Automated source optimization and gas handling ensure excellent performance and experimental reproducibility.
