HILLSBORO, Ore., July 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Thermo Fisher Scientific unveiled its most advanced focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) for materials science researchers and engineers, the Thermo Scientific Helios 5 DualBeam microscope. The microscope allows users of all experience levels to generate higher-quality results than previous generations and is the first-ever commercially available DualBeam capable of unattended, fully automated, in situ preparation of location-specific ultra-thin samples for a wide range of materials.
“Scientists and engineers in academic institutions and research and development labs continue to push the boundaries in developing safer, stronger, more durable materials to help many industries advance their products,” said Mike Shafer, president, materials and structural analysis, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “The vastly improved ease-of-use and productivity enhancements in our new Helios 5 DualBeam microscope will help our materials science customers deliver the results they need to stay on the leading edge of discovery.”
By creating high-quality samples for atomic scale analysis in a transmission electron microscope, the Helios 5 DualBeam can assist materials science researchers working with multi-scale, multi-modal correlative workflows for the characterization of complex materials and provide 3D visualization at the nanometer scale. For engineers developing high strength steels, the Helios 5 can be used to build lighter, safer and less expensive cars. For researchers developing materials used in additive manufacturing, it can be used to build more complex parts for aircraft engines that offer better fuel efficiency.
Thermo Fisher designed advancements for the new Helios 5 to ensure the system’s operation is optimal for both manual and automated workflows. Those improvements include:
First shipments of the Helios 5 for materials science customers will take place this year. For more information, please visit thermofisher.com/helios5.
