Imago Offers New Tool for True 3-D Imaging and Analysis at the Atomic Scale

Imago Scientific Instruments offers for sale the LEAP™ atom probe microscope, an advanced analytical microscope that goes beyond TEM and SIMS to provide true 3-D imaging and analysis at the atomic scale.

The LEAP™ microscope analyzes materials literally atom by atom. This controlled removal of atoms combined with TOF mass spectrometry and position-sensitive detection provides users with a 3-D map of the identity and location of individual atoms in specimens.

The LEAP™ atom probe’s unique atomic-scale information brings new insights to previously unanswerable questions in research, product development, and failure analysis in the semiconductor, data storage, and nanomaterials industries. For example, the LEAP™ microscope is uniquely suited to analyzing the atomic-scale integrity of buried interfaces and mapping the atomic composition of ultrathin films.
