HIGHLIGHTS
Your Tool for Sample Flexibility
+ GeminiSEM 360 is the ideal instrument for a core facility, delivering maximum versatility for materials & life science, and industry.
+ The eponymous electron optical design Gemini 1 brings you the benefit of surface sensitive, high resolution images providing excellent resolution at low voltage and great speed at high probe current.
+ Gather high resolution, surface- and compositional information, even on sensitive samples by using Inlens secondary and backscatter electron imaging simultaneously.
+ When aiming to image non-conducting samples under lower vacuum, so-called variable pressure, there is no need to forgo Inlens contrast: NanoVP guarantees maximum versatility enabling Inlens imaging without charging.
Unrivalled User Experience
+ GeminiSEM 360 delivers exceptional user experience: With its wide field of view and new, highly configurable chamber, it’s easy to interrogate even very large samples.
+ Enjoy seamless navigation with contextual image viewing and correlative microscopy via ZEISS ZEN Connect.
+ Gain clear, crisp images easily by using autofunctions e.g. the patented autofocus and smart detectors.
+ Perform both imaging and analytical workflows efficiently with diametrically opposite EDS ports and a coplanar EDS/EBSD geometry.
+ Maximize system uptime with ZEISS Predictive Service and benefit from scheduled maintenance to take place when you are ready.
Exceptional Capability Extension
+ Upgradability is essential for protecting your investment. That‘s why GeminiSEM 360 is plugged into the software ecosystem of ZEISS ZEN core.
+ Draw on ZEN Connect to combine multimodal and multiscale data, ZEN Intellesis for advanced AI- powered segmentation, and ZEN’s analytical modules for reporting and analysis of segmented data. ZEN data storage lets you manage projects centrally by connecting data from different instruments in your lab.
+ Access workflows and scripts created by other users who can help you solve challenges by being a member of the APEER community.
+ Improve your system as new capabilities are released thanks to a clear upgrade ability path.
