Verios XHR scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provides sub-nanometer resolution and enhanced contrast. Advanced optics reportedly deliver impressive sensitivity to surface detail at low kV. Users may switch quickly between various operating conditions, maintain sample cleanliness, and obtain sub-nanometer resolution at any accelerating voltage from 1 kV to 30 kV. Optimized signal collection and advanced filtering abilities provide higher, more flexible contrast generation, and a greater range of samples to be investigated. Many beam-sensitive or non-conductive materials can now be accurately observed at the nanoscale, without preparation.

Ten different models of desiccant cabinets are available in two model series; prevent moisture traces by maintaining a relative humidity level of < 5%. Have capacities ranging from 5.8 ft3 to 44.1 ft.3 Dry boxes prevent RH moisture absorption that vaporizes and expands within surface mount components during reflow.

Sarcon 30HR silicone-based thin film exhibits a 1.7 W/m°K thermal conductivity when placed between a heat source such as a semiconductor and heatsink. Eliminates air gaps between components. Increased surface contact can improve cooling performance of a heatsink. Has a thermal resistance of 0.42°Cin2/W and is recommended for applications with operational temperatures that range from -60° to +180°C. The V-0 flame-retardant thin film comes in roll widths up to 85mm.

Alternative Tracks permits components to be installed in multiple tracks of the component cart. When the first feeder runs empty, the system automatically switches to an alternate, which can be set up on any track of the component cart. Designed for applications where splicing should be avoided or where traceability is needed at the component level. If a component reel runs out, the job can continue running non-stop with predefined alternative components. When a track is empty, the system automatically switches to a feeder and components on an alternative track. The respective feeders and components can be set up on the same component cart. Operators can set up alternative tracks in advance as part of the product setup or immediately before the primary track is about to run empty.
