We knew you would have some questions 🙂
Is it compatible with my microscope?
We can adapt the CSSG to virtually any platform which allows an external scan generator. The integration is the same as for an electron beam lithography or EDX system. We can control common microscope functions such as column control and stage control, with the implementation depending upon the make and model of the instrument.
Can I still control my microscope with the orginial software?
Absolutely! Our interface is designed to allow easy sparse imaging. Your native SEM software is not impacted in any way.
How does it work?
Our patented process ensures a highly localized random scan of the field of view with a fractional control of sparsity. We employ a deterministic space-filling “carrier signal” which is perturbed by a “random signal” along the space-filling path. This method is implemented in both hardware and software to yield a versatile and superior sparse sampling scan pattern.
Is it plug and play?
Yes, analogue inputs to the X and Y external scan and analogue outputs from the detectors or electrical signals is all that is required. Digital interfaces may be adapted as well.
