We are very pleased to be able to participate with an information stand at the 16th specialist conference on technical cleanliness in assembly and production processes and to present our products to an interested audience.
We were recently challenged by a customer of our test laboratory. The task was to extract contaminant particles from 48 components and examine their origin and risk potential using SEM-EDX – results delivered within one week!
We donated a historic but still functional PSEM microscope to the Nuremberg Electron Microscopy Museum. The museum showcases the history and applications of electron microscopy through a wide range of exhibits and was recently featured in a report by Bavarian Broadcasting (Bayerischer Rundfunk). We are delighted that our instrument has found a place in the exhibition and will continue to be used there.
This year we will once again have a booth at Parts2Clean, the leading trade fair for industrial parts and surface cleaning, in Stuttgart. We have a limited number of free tickets available for our customers and cordially invite you to meet us at the fair.
Coxem has introduced a new model of its compact ion mill CP-8000+. The device supports the standard cutting (“cross-sectioning”) and polishing (“flat milling”) modalities and can be operated intuitively via the integrated touchscreen.
A year and a half ago we installed a Coxem EM-30N at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (HNEE). This mosaic shows a 3-point bending fracture in a deformed wood sample. With the standard integrated panorama module from Coxem, 169 individual images of a microtome section of the fracture site were collected at 200x magnification with the secondary electron detector and automatically stitched.
We supported Bruker Nano in the world's first commissioning of a compact EBSD system on our Coxem Tabletop SEM-EDX. The installation went smoothly and after one hour we were able to record the first EBSD mappings ‒ Important step for the market introduction of the EBSD technology for SEM-EDX tabletop devices.
Coxem recently presented a new backscattered electron detector (BE) for their SEM-EDX systems, which impresses with its excellent sensitivity. The new BE detector is particularly interesting for applications that benefit from a high contrast of the atomic number Z.
Given the continuing shortage of protection materials for hospital staff during the Corona crisis, Helios experts have in the past weeks developed a safe procedure for refurbishing FFP masks. Helios is making this method publically available, so that all medical staff can be supplied with sufficient protective materials.
