Temperature Controlled Sample Holder and Fibermetric

Phenom-World launches the Temperature Controlled Sample Holder and improved Fibermetric application for the Phenom™ G2 desktop scanning electron microscopes. Prolonging the viewing time of vacuum-sensitive and vulnerable samples with the new Temperature Controlled Sample Holder and execute more analysis on your fibre materials with the improved Fibermetric application. With these two launches Phenom-World further extends the usability of the Phenom G2 desktop SEM’s. Giving the opportunity to image vacuum-sensitive and vulnerable samples without damaging the sample structure by using the Temperature Controlled Sample Holder. Secondly the new version of Fibermetric is able to take the analysis of fibres and filter to an even higher level. In close cooperation with its preferred development partner Deben, Phenom-World has developed a Temperature Controlled Sample Holder to study vacuum-sensitive and vulnerable samples. This active sample holder is designed to control the temperature of the sample between -25°C and +50°C.

With the use of the Temperature Controlled Sample Holder, the temperature of the sample is manipulated and therefore the humidity around it can be controlled. This enables imaging of moistures and water containing samples as well as reducing the effect the electron beam has on beam sensitive samples. This results in an extended viewing time, without noticeable vacuum artifacts. The Temperature Controlled Sample Holder can be retrofitted to all versions of the Phenom G2 system.

The improved Fibermetric allows measurements and analysis on complicated fibre structures, ranging from spunbond and electrospun fibers to the melt blown type of fibers. The Fibermetric application provides accurate size information frommicro and nano fibre samples. Through further automisation of several important features, the Fibermetric has become more user-friendly and guarantees a fast return on investment. The automated features that have the most effect on this are the high number of measurements, the automated feature and fibre size detection, and the analysis of the data points. The large range of fibres size allows Fibermetric to be used in a wide variety of applications, like investigation control.
