In 1992, ASPEX Corporation introduced the “PC” of scanning electron microscopes, the ASPEX personal SEM. The automated particle analyzer—based on integrated SEM-EDS technology—is ASPEX’s flagship product. The ASPEX PSEM has consistently provided customers with a reliable workhorse solution for their particle analysis needs-particle size, shape and elemental composition. Since the first introduction of the PSEMTM innovations and improvements in component technology, robust form factors and software enhancements have allowed ASPEX to continue to offer superior solutions to a variety customer’s needs of the last 15 years.
Today, ASPEX has expanded its product line to include three separate platforms, each targeting various market needs in the areas of particle identification and characterization. These instrument platforms utilize state-of-the are components, such as the latest in SDD technology, which allows higher throughput, exceptional performance, and quality; robust form factors suited for lab to harsh industrial environments; and a user interface designed to support a wide range of experience for SEM operators.
The ASPEX PSEM eXpress, is a benchtop SEM that provides superior particle analysis capabilities at a price you can't beat. It's clearly designed for "out of the lab" applications, emphasizing speed, reliability and low cost of ownership while requiring no liquid nitrogen. Employing a "design for use" philosophy, ASPEX has created a desktop SEM with plenty of power to do your routine automated particle analysis with unmatched ease, speed, and reliability.
Now in its third generation, the PSEM eXplorer is a scanning electron microscope that is designed for the automated imaging and elemental analysis of a wide spectrum of surfaces and particulate. A unique blend of hardware ruggedization and software sophistication creates a system platform that is readily accessible.
The PSEM eXtreme represents an eXtreme departure from the SEM EDX systems currently being utilized in the field for jet engine predictive/preventative maintenance. Smaller, lighter, easier to operate, and extremely easy to deploy, PSEM eXtreme provides laboratory precision and battlefield toughness!
