The FEI Strata™ DB235 is a dual beam SEM/FIB system combing a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with thermal emission tip for high resolution imaging and a focused ion beam (FIB) with gallium metal ion beam source for nanoscale cutting. The system is capable of:
·High Resolution SEM image with resolution ~3 nm (only to be used in conjunction with milling or other applications)
·Nanoscale cutting of structures using focused ion beam while simultaneously monitoring the progress using SEM.
·gas injection system for metal deposition (electron or ion beam induced deposition)
·TEM sample preparation

The Dimension 3100 scanning probe microscope utilizes standard and advanced SPM imaging modes to measure surface characteristics for semiconductor wafers, lithography masks, magnetic media, CDs/DVDs, biomaterials, optics, and other samples up to 200mm in diameter. Precise laser tracking and the ability to change scanning techniques without tools guarantee flexibility and ease of use. The system's NanoScope 3D controller can scan from the maximum scan size to a few nanometers with full 16-bit resolution on all scan waveforms and on each axis. Available scanning techniques: Contact mode, Tapping mode, Non-contact mode, Phaseimaging, Lateral force microscopy, Magnetic force microscopy, Electric force microscopy, Surface potential microscopy, Tunneling atomic force microscopy, FastScan Imaging, Nanomanipulation (NANOMAN).
