The FEI Nova NanoSEM 430 is a state-of-the-art SEM that utilized a field emission electron source and immersion lens technology to obtain resolution below 1 nm. The NanoSEM is capable of imaging from 8X to 300,000X, working distance permitting. Accelerating voltage can be varied from 50V (with beam deceleration) to 30kV. It features a motorized XYZ stage with full 360° rotation and -10° to 90° tilt and can hold a full 4” wafer.
