Thermo Scientific Auto Slice & View 5 (AS&V5) Software allows for automated acquisition of high-resolution 3D images and analytical maps such as EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction) or EDS (energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy). AS&V5 Software acquires data by milling serial sections (slices) of a sample with a focused ion beam (FIB) and then imaging and/or mapping each slice. Due to the high value and unique nature of many samples, it is important to collect as much information as possible from each section. AS&V5 Software allows you to acquire multiple imaging and analysis modalities for every slice, including information such as material and channeling contrast generated by multiple SEM and FIB detectors. Additionally, elemental information can be collected with EDS, and grain orientation/strain-texture analysis can be provided by EBSD mapping.
Spin Mill functionality
Spin Mill Science is an add-on for Auto Slice & View 5 Software that enables site-specific large area polishing and 3D characterization. Available on PFIBs and Hydra DualBeams, this software automates sequential milling and imaging of areas up to 1 mm.
Intuitive, easy to use UI
Streamlined workflows, milling recipes, integrated auto functions.
Digital tilt-shift compensation
Improve collection efficiency and accuracy.
On-the-fly editing capabilities
Adjust parameters as needed if encountering phase/microstructural change.
Integrated imaging
Integrates SEM and FIB imaging, EBSD and EDS mapping into one package.
