Some reasons to digitally upgrade a SEM:  

To enjoy the benefits of digital image distribution via email, networks, or the internet

To reduce Polaroid usage  (typically 80-90% reduction).

To take advantage of PC based hardcopy technologies

To more efficiently  integrate images into reports using modern software

To digitally archive image data on non-volatile media

To integrating image data with other electronically stored supporting documentation

To improve the image rendering capabilities of the SEM

And finally, to add new imaging modes to the SEM.    Ask about our specialized optional software.. 

Photographs and paper are yesterday's tools.  Image documentation and accompanying reports are posted to web sties, emailed,  or stored as word processing documents on network drives.  File cabinets have been replaced by networks and/or organizers for write able CD-ROM's. 

 The goal is to save paper, lab space, distribution costs, archiving costs and your time.  To reach this goal, image quality must not be sacrificed.   

Simulated high noise image typical of many SEM operating conditions.  The simulation is typical of the amount of noise reduction using either 'gated integrator' or 'frame averaging' techniques.

Microstructure of cheese.  This is precisely how DIGISEM images will look when imported  into your Windows applications.  The data area (with adjustable micron marker) is optional.  This image was captured using an environmental SEM at low accelerating potentials.  These conditions would usually result in a very grainy image, unsuitable for analysis or archiving.

Capture images from a scan of the sample directly into a TIFF image.   Live preview images are viewed on the PC, then captured using noise reduction features.  The result: crisp, high resolution images.
