Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES, Auger) is an analytical technique that provides compositional and distributional information of elements on the top few monolayers of a material by irradiating an electron beam to the surface of a solid material and measuring the energy of Auger electron emitted from the sample surface. The PHI 710 Scanning Auger Nanoprobe is a high performance surface analysis system that provides nanometer level Auger analysis. The acoustic enclosure and the built-in vibration isolators allow compositional and distributional measurement by 500,000 magnification that conventional Auger system never achieved.

PHI’s patented Parallel Imaging MS/MS mass spectrometer provides superior sensitivity, low spectral background, unique ability to image highly topographic surfaces, high mass accuracy and mass resolution, and unambiguous peak identification with parallel tandem MS imaging capability.
