Thermo Fisher Scientific

The Thermo Scientific™ Phenom ParticleX Steel Desktop SEM is a combined SEM imaging and EDS analysis instrument for quality control in steel manufacturing, with industry-specific software designed to quickly and easily provide high-quality data for inclusion, fault, and failure analysis.

Key Benefits

Designed for stability and atomic resolution imaging

• Versatility—SEM and EDS integrated into one instrument to meet all needs in a steel plant.
• Ease of use—New operators should be able to produce quality data with minimal training.
• Industry-specific software—Operation is further simplified, providing practical insight on common inclusions.
• High brightness—The CeB6 source enables characterization of sub-micrometer inclusions.
• Future-proof—Once you are comfortable with the tool, modify initial protocols to meet your specific analytical needs.
