AURIGA

Does working with your sample cover more than just imaging of the surface? Would you also like to know about the chemical composition or the morphology of your sample? Are you curious about in-depth 3D volume characteristics? Or do you even plan to modify or process your sample?

AURIGA, the CrossBeam System combines the 3D imaging and analysis performance of the GEMINI e-Beam column with the ability of a FIB for material processing and sample preparation on a nanoscopic scale. Available as AURIGA 40 and AURIGA 60 with different chamber designs you profit from maximum flexibility in industrial quality control and material science.

The micromachining and structuring capabilities of the AURIGA CrossBeam workstations open a wide field of applications that outreach far beyond standard sample preparation.

Being able to flexibly and precisely control the focused ion beam – possibly in combination with process gases – is key in scientific and industrial research and development. For productivity applications, reliability and ease of use are major factors that determine the quality of the beam control interface.

The NanoPatterning Engine Software addresses these requirements by providing a highly flexible yet intuitive user interface enabling most complex and high-accuracy structuring at 16 bit accuracy.

Extend your AURIGA CrossBeam system: ATLAS 3D is a package of hard- and software specifically designed for FIB nanotomography. You automatically create a 3D data stack at a resolution up to 32 k x 32 k pixels. Analyze thousands to millions of cubic micrometers of volume with nanometer scale resolution in all three dimensions.
Intelligent software algorithms reduce the amount of data and the time needed for acquisition. Profit from drift correction, autostigmation, autofocus and adaptive and dynamic 3D tracking support for fast and reliable results.
