Albanova Nanolab Helios 5 Dual Beam system (SEM/FIB)

Responsible: Taras Golod

Helios 5 (Thermo Scientific, formely FEI) is a dual beam system for 3D imaging in nanomaterials science. High level of automation makes 3D characterization and sample perparation quick and easy.

The system is extra equipped with

  • integrated Thermo Scientific EasyLift NanoManipulator for high precision
  • low-drift in-situ liftout
  • retractable STEM detector for nano-analysis of thin samples

Some technical data:

  • E-beam resolution:
    • At optimum WD
      • 0.6 nm at 30 kV STEM
      • 0.7 nm at 1 kV
      • 1.0 nm at 500 V (ICD)
    • At coincidence point
      • 0.6 nm at 15 kV
      • 1.2 nm at 1 kV
  • E-ebam current range 0.8 pA - 100 nA
  • Accelerating voltage 350 V - 30 kV
  • Ion beam
    • Current range 1 pA - 100 nA
    • Accelerating voltage range 500 V - 30 kV
    • Resolution 2.5 nm at 30 kV (selective edge method)
