NEWS & UPDATES

We had a fantastic time at the Lehigh Microscopy School last month!
Dr. Jining Xie, William K. Podrazky, and Dr. Vincent Pastore, led hands-on training sessions with the Phenom XL Benchtop SEM, and it was clear that many attendees were genuinely surprised by what this compact system can do.
We fielded a lot of great questions, and these came up again and again:
Can it actually do EDS?
Yes! The Phenoms can be equipped with a Silicon Drift Detector (SDD), offering fast, accurate elemental analysis. The integrated software makes it easy to collect point spectra, line scans, and elemental maps, and allows automation of EDS analysis tasks.
This is just a teaching tool, right? Can it even collect publication-quality images?
It is not just for teaching! While they are easy to set up and use, the Phenoms are routinely used in some of the most cutting-edge research labs around the world. Phenom micrographs have been published in many journals and have also won image contests.
It’s always rewarding to experience the excitement generated by the Phenom SEMs and see skepticism turned into enthusiasm!
