The Hiden
SIMS Workstation has been developed with strong interaction with those used
to performing SIMS analyses for both contract service work and research in many
fields of analysis. The philosophy of design has been simple, to produce a proper
SIMS analysis instrument which combines high sensitivity, flexibility and ease
of operation, but also to make it cost effective both in terms of capital and
ongoing costs.
The
Hiden SIMS Workstation has achieved these aims, being the only mid-priced
instrument to incorporate both oxygen and caesium ion guns – a necessity
for general analysis. It provides a true UHV environment, flexible loadlock
and sample handling system. The embedded SNMS facility ensures that the tool
covers the full analytical concentration range, from ppm through to 100% bulk
and the data system means that valuable results are easily stored and exported
to other applications. It is easy enough to configure for production line analysis,
yet will provide the dedicated research professional with a tool limited only
by imagination.
Key features of The
Hiden SIMS Workstation include:
- Rapid turnaround of all types of samples
- Static and dynamic SIMS
- Integral ioniser for SNMS and RGA
- Choice of Ion guns
- SNMS surface mapping / imaging
- Surface contamination analysis
- Quantification of matrix level by SNMS
- Flexible and upgradeable configuration
