Enable nanoscale imaging with the Phenom Pharos G2 Desktop FEG-SEM

The Thermo Scientific Phenom Pharos G2 Desktop FEG-SEM helps you analyze small particles at high resolution, all from the comfort of an office environment. It can help you image nanoparticles, imperfections in coatings, and various other nanometer-sized features that would simply be missed by other desktop or tungsten SEMs.


Long-lasting FEG source for high-resolution, stability, and high-precision imaging

A field emission gun (FEG) electron source offers outstanding image quality with enhanced resolution and contrast. These advanced electron sources boast impressive longevity, significantly surpassing the lifespan of traditional tungsten filaments by an order of magnitude.

 

FEG sources provide a stable electron beam with minimal degradation over time, eliminating the abrupt failures often associated with tungsten filaments.

 

This stability allows for consistent performance and makes it possible to schedule maintenance and replacements during routine service intervals, helping to ensure uninterrupted operation and optimal imaging results.

Just one hour of training needed

To use the Phenom Pharos G2 Desktop FEG-SEM effectively, all you need is a desk and less than one hour of training. Now you can open up the world of high-end FEG-SEM analysis to everyone—from lab researchers to graduate students—so you and your organization can get more from your microscope.


An ideal choice for beam-sensitive samples

Thanks to its FEG source, the Phenom Pharos G2 Desktop FEG-SEM enables imaging at acceleration voltages down to 1 kV, providing high-resolution and high-quality imaging of a wide range of materials, including polymers. Its low kV imaging capabilities make it possible to image beam-sensitive materials without the need to apply a coating while also imaging nanoscale surface features.

Desktop FEG SEM built for your biggest imaging and analysis needs

Two of the biggest obstacles traditionally faced by industrial lab managers looking to introduce FEG-SEM technology is the size and complexity of these systems. They take up valuable space and they take a long time to master. The Phenom Pharos G2 Desktop FEG-SEM was developed specifically as a walk-up system that supports your continuing quest for greater ease of use and productivity.
