High-Performance Analytical SEM in a Cost-Optimized System

Tescan Magna SEM

Product Overview

The MAGNA SEM is a state-of-the-art Ultra-High-Resolution (UHR) Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), designed for next-generation material characterization at the nanoscale. Featuring the Triglav™ electron column with TriLens™ immersion optics, the MAGNA SEM delivers exceptional resolution, contrast, and selective signal acquisition, making it ideal for nanoparticle research, catalysis, battery materials, semiconductors, and life sciences.

With TriBE™ and TriSE™ in-beam detection technology, high-throughput microanalysis, and an integrated STEM mode, MAGNA provides unparalleled imaging performance for researchers and engineers working on advanced nanomaterials and ultra-thin specimens.
