Automated Procedures
Filament heating and alignment of the gun for optimal beam performance is done automatically with just one click. There are many others which reduce the operator’s tune-up time significantly, enable automated manipulator navigation and automated analyses. Built-in scripting language (Python) enables access to most of software features, including complete microscope control, stage control, image acquisition,processing and analysis. Scripting enables users defining their own automatic procedures.
User-Friendly Software
� Multi-user environment is localized in many languages.
� Four levels of user expertise/rights, including an EasySEM™ mode forquick routine investigations
� Image management and report creation
� Built-in self-diagnostics for system readiness checks
� Network operations and remote access/diagnostics
Software Tools
� Modular software architecture enables several extensions to be attached.
� Basic set of plug-ins, such as Measurement, Image Processing, Object Area available as standard
� Several optional modules or dedicated applications optimized for automatic sample examination procedures, such as Morphology and Particle Analysis or 3D surface reconstruction, etc.
