The Tescan VEGA Series is a family of fully PC-controlled state-of-the-art SEM with a host of advanced features, combined with modern design, excellent quality of control electronics and mechanics at a very competitive price/performance ratio.

 

Unique 4-lens electron optical system (up to 30 kV), PC-controlled to easily switch between modes for high resolution imaging, ultra-low magnification, ultra-high depth of focus and optimised analysis

 

Effective automatic functions to control and optimise electron optical parameters, and/or to automate working procedures for fast high-quality results

 

Fast and easy 3D stereo imaging via PC-controlled beam deflection with optional 3D surface modelling and analysis

 

Sophisticated user interface, easy-to-use software for microscope control under MS Windows™ operating system

 

Password-protected, multi-level user accounts

 

Built-in remote operation and remote diagnostic

 

Comprehensive software for image archiving, measurement, processing, and analysis

 

Choice of different chambers and stages (SB-, LM or XM- type) with excellent analytical geometry for EDX, WDX, and EBSD analysis

 

Extra-long filament life-time

 

Variable pressure option (LV-/VP-systems with 500 or 2000 Pa)

 

Full range of detectors (i.e. BSE, LVSE, etc.), accessories and options

 

Full integration of analytical systems via TCP/IP remote access
