Product news

On show at analytica from Carl Zeiss is the new AURIGA® Laser: Large-scale material removal and far-reaching analysis: fast, flexible, integrated.

Fast. Faster. Fastest. AURIGA® Laser.
The integrated laser removes material up to 500 times faster than a plasma ion beam and up to 20,000 times faster than a gallium-ion beam.

Unique diversity in one system: Materials. Shapes. Analysis methods.
Process materials that are inaccessible by conventional preparation methods: non-conductive materials, brittle materials such as glass or ceramics, and soft materials that tend to delaminate or smear. Do analysis reaching from EDS, EBSD, STEM, WDS, to SIMS and many more.

Safe technology, consistent performance, convenient in use.
Completely integrated into the workflow, the laser removes the material outside the main vacuum chamber. Optics and detectors stay clean and there is no wear from removed material. AURIGA® Laser is a class 1 laser: suitable for industrial use, reliable and proven – no additional safety measures are needed.

To learn more visit Hall A2, booth 111/210.

Non-Destructive TechniquesNon-destructive techniques (NDT) describes a variety of analytical techniques used to evaluate the properties of a material. Common methods include ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, remote visual inspection (RVI), and eddy-current testing. NDT is regularly used in forensic engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, systems engineering, aeronautical engineering, and medicine.Electron MicroscopyElectron microscopes (EM) are used to create high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale by means of an accelerated beam of electrons as a source of illumination. Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
