Specific to IMS 6f users: extend the lifetime of your instrument with our IMS 6f overhaul program:
IMS 6f ion microprobes are robust, but old instruments whose electronic components are becoming obsolete. To minimize the risk of long, non-scheduled downtime, CAMECA offers an IMS 6f overhaul program, that will fully rejuvenate your instrument with a complete new electronics system, pumping and vacuum, new hardware, full automation, user-friendly acquisition and processing software, etc...
Download the IMS 6f-E7 upgrade flyer for all details of this upgrade and its benefits in terms of performance, productivity, ease-of-use, and of course, uptime and sustainability.
