Hitachi High-Tech

Hitachi High-Tech Corporation released the new Regulus series of field-emission scanning electron microscopes (FE-SEM).

As a new brand of FE-SEMs, the Regulus series lineup comprises four models: the Regulus8100, Regulus8220, Regulus8230, and Regulus8240, all of which extend the functions of the previous models with the use of a common platform. The Regulus series offers enhanced functionality with improved resolution and ease of use.

Key Features

  1. Cold field emission (CFE) gun optimized for low-voltage, high-resolution imaging with low aberration
  2. Resolution improved by 20% than previous models
    (Regulus8220/8230/8240: 0.9 nm/1 kV; Regulus8100: 1.1 nm/1 kV)
  3. Maximum magnification doubled from 1,000,000X to 2,000,000X (Regulus8220 / 8230 /8240).
  4. User-support functions to ensure high performance
