FemtoLEED Spectrometer DLD L800

Nano-Scale Measurements of Surface Periodic Structures with Femto-Ampere Electron Probe

Collaboration with RoentDek in Germany.

The FemtoLEED with integral shutter enables nano-scale measurements of surface periodic structures with a femto-ampere electron probe. Instead of a fluorescent screen, it uses a delay line detector and allows for fully digital operation.


Features

  • Primary electron beam in the range of femto ampere
  • Electron diffraction on insulating single crystal samples
  • Large coherence width
  • Powerful operation with digital LEED controller

Applications

With its primary electron beam in the range of femto ampere, the FemtoLEED DLD L800 is specifically useful for investigations on sensitive organic samples. The fully digital system negates the need for an external CCD camera for live image capture.

Drawings

For seamless integration, 3D step files are available for all models.
