Case Study

Vacuum & Ease of Use

Increase your convenience and facilitate your work routine e.g. reduced loading time and increased sample throughput through the Airlock or a significantly reduced noise level through the ECO Quiet Mode. Decontaminate your specimen and chamber with the Plasma Cleaner or improve image quality through the compensation of charging effect with the Flood Gun or the Charge Compensation.

ZEISS ECO Quiet Mode

Reduce Noise and Save Energy

By using ZEISS ECO Quiet Mode and with help from a vacuum reservoir the pre-pump is automatically switched off after reaching a factory pre-set vacuum level. The vacuum reservoir allows the system to be operated for hours without the need of the pre-pump. This results in both the reduction of noise levels and energy consumption.

 

Benefits:

  • More comfortable application
  • High definition imaging
  • Energy-saving
