-- New all-in-one SEM-EDS platform provides high-quality quantitative elemental 
data twice as fast as competing solutions

Thermo Fisher Scientific today unveiled the Thermo Scientific Axia ChemiSEM, a 
cost-effective, floor-model scanning electron microscope (SEM) that takes 
materials micro-structural analysis and defect discovery to a new level of 
speed and simplicity.

Axia ChemiSEM includes always-on energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis 
with Thermo Fisher's breakthrough ChemiSEM technology, providing academic and 
industrial users with near instant access to quantitative compositional 
imaging. The result of this instant access: Axia ChemiSEM provides actionable 
data up to twice as fast as other competing SEM-EDS solutions currently on the 
market. Next-generation auto-alignment and auto-focus technology greatly lower 
the need for training, while the instrument's unique chamber and stage design 
makes it easy to investigate samples of all shapes and sizes, including heavy 
samples up to ten kilograms. 

Unlike traditional SEMs, Axia ChemiSEM offers:

    -- Fully integrated ChemiSEM Technology (

), 
       offering instant quantitative elemental information with the click of 
       a button and without needing additional set-up or switching between 
       user interfaces; 

    -- A large, flexible chamber that can accommodate samples traditionally 
       considered too heavy for investigations involving electron 
       microscopy; and 

    -- A new, advanced column automation that is always ready to image, 
       enabling users to focus on data collection rather than instrument 
       management.

"The Axia ChemiSEM is a single platform that has always-on EDS data. It will 
expand materials analysis access by extending micro-imaging and micro-analysis 
to a broad range of non-technical users," said Rosy Lee, vice president of 
materials science at Thermo Fisher. "This new microscope is ideal for both 
high-volume industrial labs that want to increase sample throughput while 
reducing costs and academic institutions that want affordable, reliable, and 
fast SEM-EDS analysis with less training."

For companies or academic institutions that want to add SEM-EDS analysis to 
their workflow but are worried about complexity and approachability of SEM 
technology, Axia ChemiSEM is easy to deploy, use and train on, and provides 
rapid microstructural and elemental information. Axia ChemiSEM provides faster 
access to the compositional data necessary for accurate failure analysis and 
defect discovery by collecting chemical information in the background, before 
users need it. These improvements can help lower the cost-per-sample and 
generate long-term savings.

The new user experience and advanced technology provides live, integrated EDS 
data and minimizes the time spent managing the tool. With unique auto-alignment 
and auto-focus technology, users can focus on data collection, rather than 
instrument operation. It also offers easy sample navigation and handling of 
heavy samples due to a uniquely flexible chamber and state design, intuitive 
software, and imaging automation workflows.
