High Performance Imaging XPS

The Spherical Mirror Analyser

The AXIS ULTRA integrates into a single easy to use instrument the Kratos patented Magnetic Immersion Lens and Charge Neutralisation System, our classical high performance hemisphical energy analyser and our new, patented Spherical Mirror Analyser. The Spherical Mirror Analyser provides real time chemical state and elemental imaging using the full range of pass energies and multi-point analysis from either real time or scanned images without the need for sample translation.

A microchannel plate and phosphor detection system are incorporated into the system to provide a parallel imaging capability with high spatial resolution and high sensitivity. Advanced zoom optics enable a variable viewing area for the identification of macroscopic or microscopic features. The instrument's exceptional small spot spectroscopy capabilities (<15 microns) are achieved via a combination of the magnetic lens and selected area apertures.

The AXIS line of multi-technique photoelectron spectrometers provides scientists with unsurpassed performance for applications which require high energy resolution and high spatial resolution, high sensitivity, time efficiency and ease of use.
