Imaging System & Micromachining

IGM 200

 
The IGM 200 is a fully integrated micro-machining package that provides output scan voltages for connection to a Ion/Electron beam system. The software facilities are extremely powerful allowing 2D and 3D machining operations. Coupled with the secondary electron detector system (SED 02) an image of the sample and machining process are displayed real time on screen.
