Environmental scanning electron microscope
The Thermo Scientific Prisma E Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) combines a wide array of imaging and analytical modalities with advanced automation to offer the most complete solution of any instrument in its class. It is ideal for industrial research and development, quality control, and failure analysis applications that require high resolution, sample flexibility and an easy-to-use operator interface. The Prisma E SEM succeeds the highly successful Thermo Scientific Quanta SEM.
ESEM with EDS
The unique combination of accessible all-round performance, a large set of accessories, and the most intuitive elemental analysis with Thermo Scientific ColorSEM make the Prisma E SEM the go-to SEM for micro-scale imaging and analysis in any industry or field.
Elemental information at your fingertips
Live composition-based image coloring for intuitive elemental analysis with optional ChemiSEM Technology and integrated energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Speed up your work and obtain the most complete sample information with always-on analysis.
Excellent image quality
Excellent image quality at low kV and low vacuum thanks to flexible vacuum modes, including through-the-lens differential pumping. Simultaneous secondary electron (SE) and backscattered electron (BSE) imaging in every mode of operation.
Minimize sample preparation time
Low vacuum and ESEM capability enable charge-free imaging and analysis of nonconductive and/or hydrated specimens.
In-situ study of materials in their natural state
With the Prisma E SEM’s environmental SEM (ESEM) mode, samples can be imaged even if they are hot, dirty, outgassing or wet.
Excellent analytical capabilities
Excellent analytical capabilities with a chamber that allows 3 simultaneous EDS detectors, EDS ports that are 180° opposite, wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy (WDS), coplanar EDS/EBSD and high-quality charge-free EDS and EBSD in low vacuum.
Easy to use
Easy to use, intuitive software with user guidance and undo functionality makes highly effective operation possible for novice users, while enabling experts to do their work faster and with fewer mouse clicks.
Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy for materials characterization.
Studying materials in real-world conditions often involves working at high temperatures. The behavior of materials as they recrystallize, melt, deform, or react in the presence of heat can be studied in situ with scanning electron microscopy or DualBeam tools.
Environmental SEM allows materials to be imaged in their native state. This is ideally suited for academic and industrial researchers who need to test and analyze samples that are wet, dirty, reactive, outgassing or otherwise not vacuum compatible.
Particle analysis plays a vital role in nanomaterials research and quality control. The nanometer-scale resolution and superior imaging of electron microscopy can be combined with specialized software for rapid characterization of powders and particles.
