Background

Scanning electron microscopes(SEMs) are used in various fields; nanotechnology, metals, semiconductors, ceramics, medicine, and biology. With application expansion, SEM users are in need of fast high-quality data acquisition and simple compositional information confirmation with seamless operation.

The JSM-F100 incorporates our highly regarded In-lens Schottky Plus FE electron gun and "Neo Engine"(electron optical control system) as well as a new GUI "SEM Center" and an innovative "LIVE-AI(Live Image Visual Enhancer-Artificial Intelligence) filter". This enables an optimal combination of high-spatial-resolution imaging and operability. Furthermore, a standard JEOL energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer(EDS) is fully integrated within "SEM Center" for seamless acquisition from images to elemental analysis results. The JSM-F100 achieves superb work efficiency, 50% or higher than that of our previous JSM-7000 series, realizing dramatically-increased high throughput.

Features

1. In-lens Schottky Plus FE electron gun
   Enhanced integration of the electron gun and low-aberration condenser lens provides higher brightness. Ample probe current at low accelerating voltage supports various capabilities from high-resolution imaging to high-speed elemental mapping.
2. Hybrid Lens(HL)
   The Hybrid Lens(HL), combining the electrostatic and magnetic field lens, supports high-spatial-resolution imaging and analysis of various specimens.
3. Neo Engine(New Electron Optical Engine)
   Neo Engine, a cutting-edge electron optical control system, significantly improves the precision of automatic functions and operability.
4. New function of "SEM Center"
   A new operation GUI "SEM Center" fully integrates SEM imaging and EDS analysis and provides next-generation operability and high-resolution images obtained with FE-SEM.
5. New "Zeromag" function
   "Zeromag", incorporated for seamless transition from optical to SEM imaging, makes it easy to locate the target specimen area.
6. New LIVE-AI filter*
   Utilizing the AI(artificial intelligence) capability, LIVE-AI filter is incorporated for a higher quality of live images. Unlike image integration processing, this new filter displays a seamless moving live image with no residual image and is very effective for quickly searching observation areas, focusing, and stigmator adjustment.
