PHI Quantera Hybrid XPS
The PHI Quantera Hybrid is an upgraded model of the PHI Quantera SXM, a Scanning X-ray Microscope used for the quantitative analysis of chemical elements and chemical states within the top few nanometers of a surface. The Quantera Hybrid enables analysis of both a very small area of user interest and a large area of the uniform sample surface. Depth profiling can be accomplished with automated ion milling. Angle resolved XPS provides a nondestructive analysis of ultra-thin films, revealing thickness, composition and chemical state of each elements.
