CL and BSE in one
Change the tip to use it as a BSE detector, with phosphor or YAG scintillators.
HV and LV
Works in high and low vacuum, with a monochromatic video output.
Motorised option
Motorised insertion with welded-bellows sealing for hard-to-reach or hazardous locations such as hot cells.
Tuneable
