Next-Generation High-Performance Analysis System: FIB-SEM with Integrated ToF-SIMS

The focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) is equipped with a state-of-the-art ToF-SIMS system, delivering enhanced resolution for precise results across a wide range of applications:

Quality Assurance & Failure Analysis – Detect defects and contamination at the sub-nanometer scale.
Materials & Process Development – Characterize surfaces and layered structures in exceptional detail.
Cleanliness Testing & Medical Technology – Reliable testing for highly sensitive applications.
Life Sciences – High-resolution 3D imaging of biological samples without the need for labeling.

Benefit from high-resolution analytics without relying on external laboratories—enabling faster results and greater flexibility in your planning.

Mechanical workshop

Our mechanical workshop offers high-precision manufacturing and design solutions for industrial customers and research institutes. We have many years of experience in the manufacture of experimental demonstrators and inspection and test equipment, which are often based on optical processes. Our range of services extends from simple component production to the manufacture of complex apparatus. Economically attractive batch sizes range from single items to small prototype series in the 2-digit range.
