SEM Special Solution


TESCAN SEM/FIB-SEM with integrated Raman spectrometer

Key features

  • Quick and convenient switching between SEM and Raman measurement
  • Automated sample transfer from one measuring position to the other
  • Integrated software interface for user-friendly measurement control
  • Correlation of the measurement results and image overlay
  • No compromise in SEM and Raman imaging capabilities
  • Raman microscopy provides analysis of chemical compounds and material characteristics (stress, orientation, crystallinity).
  • Raman spectroscopy is a complementary method to EDX.
