Zeiss SMT presents at Microscopy & Analysis 2007 the
newly designed and substantially improved EVO® MA and
EVO® LS microscope series. These scanning electron microscopes
(SEM) are introduced to meet the ever increasing application demands in
Materials Analysis and Life Sciences. Building upon the foundations
laid by the successful EVO® series, the MA and LS series reveal
application orientated imaging solutions while raising ease of use and
sample navigation to a new level within a stylish user environment.
With SmartSEM™ as an integral part of the EVO®
solution offering, the user interface caters to all skill levels to
provide a productive user experience.
The MA microscopes
The Materials Analysis community will be attracted to the MA
series of EVO® SEMs that comprises three variable pressure
microscopes. Differing by chamber size, the three microscopes are MA
10, MA 15, and MA 25. The MA 10 is a utility microscope with a large
chamber. The MA 15 is an analytical SEM with larger stage movements and
a port, provided as standard, for the addition of a WDS facility. The
MA 25 features the largest chamber of its class with the ability to
handle 25 cm tall specimens.
All MA microscopes can be adapted to particular applications
by the use of the BeamSleeve®, LaB6 sources, water vapour
charge compensation and the Extended Pressure package.
The LS microscopes
The Life Science community will recognise the LS series of
scanning electron microscopes as appropriate for their particular
demands. The three microscopes are LS 10, LS 15, and LS 25, differing
in chamber size as the MA series. All three are high-end environmental
SEMs capable of imaging delicate hydrated life science specimens by
maintaining a humid atmosphere at the specimen.
