MIRA 3 FEG SEM

New Generation of High Resolution FEG SEMs

The MIRA 3 is a  third generation of MIRA series of high resolution scanning electron microscopes equipped with a high brightness Schottky Field Emission gun.

Key features of the MIRA 3 Generation

  • A new high-performance electronics for faster image acquisition and signal processing
  • New generation ultra-fast scanning system with compensated static and dynamic image aberrations
  • An extended range of scanning modes using the original Wide Field Optics™
  • Software control and high level of automation
  • New generation of integrated nano-lithography toolbox
  • Built-in scripting for user defined applications

Modern Electron Optics

  • High brightness Schottky emitter for high-resolution / high-current / low-noise imaging
  • Original In-Beam Detector, for high resolution imaging at low accelerating voltages optionally available
  • Unique three-lens Wide Field Optics™design offering the variety of working and displaying modes
  • The proprietary Intermediate Lens (IML) that works as an "aperture changer" makes the exchange of the effective final aperture electromagnetically.
  • Usage of premium materials for the lenses and coils allows an ultra-fast imaging rate down to 20 ns/pixel with minimized dynamic distortion effects.
  • Real time In-Flight Beam Tracing™ for the performance and spot optimization integrating the well established software Electron Optical Design
  • The column design, without any mechanical centering elements, allows fully automated column set-up and alignment.
  • Unique live stereoscopic imaging, using the advanced 3D Beam Technology, opens the micro and nano-world for amazing 3D experience and 3D navigation.

Great Analytical Potential

  • First class YAG scintillator based detectors
  • A comprehensive choice of optional detectors and accessories
  • Chamber interface ports are optimized for micro-analytical use 
  • Optional Active Vibration Isolation is fully integrated in the microscope frame for efficient cancelling of ambient vibration
  • Obtaining the clean chamber vacuum by a powerful turbomolecular and rotary fore vacuum pumps within a few minutes.
  • Investigation of non-conductive samples in the variable pressure versions.
  • Several options of chamber suspension type ensures effective reduction of ambient vibrations in your lab.
  • 3D measurements on a reconstructed surface utilizing the optional 3D metrology (MeX) software

User Friendly Software

  • Sophisticated software for SEM control, image acquisition, archiving, processing and analysis.
  • Multi-user environment is localized in many languages.
  • Comprehensive choice of plug-in modules for different applications
  • High-throughput large-area automation, e.g. automated particle location and analyses with fully motorized compucentric stages
  • Fully automated microscope set-up including electron optics set-up and alignment
  • Network operations and built-in remote access/diagnostics, all come as  Tescan standard.

MIRA 3 Models

The extraordinary FEG SEM MIRA 3 is available in two vacuum versions and with two chamber sizes.

MIRA 3 HiVac

High vacuum models operating at chamber vacuum of approx. x 10-3Pa   for observation of conductive samples

MIRA 3 UniVac

Variable pressure models, that combines the advantages of the high vacuum model with extended facility for low vacuum operation. In the low vacuum mode, non-conductive specimens can be examined in their natural, uncoated state at chamber pressures up to 150 Pa
