The electronics, hardware, and software of the pointSEM are perfectly coordinated and designed for maximum performance. The simultaneous acquisition of up to 20 image channels, short scan times, and high resolutions enable fast, precise image generation. Integrated automation, sensitive detectors, and intuitive control software form the foundation for reproducible and efficient work results.
