SVZ Technologies has developed a system that enables the energy selection and separation of secondary electrons emitted from a material under test as a result of primary electron excitation in a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). This system differs from other commercially available secondary electron detectors due to its unique physical principle. Whereas conventional secondary electron detectors indiscriminately collect electrons of all emitted energies, the EDSES system selectively captures emitted electrons by specific energy bands and converts the resulting signal into a digital image of the sample under examination.
The EDSES sensor head in the chamber of the SEM microscope:

New:
SVZ Technologies offers an upgraded version of the SVZ-EDSES-1 system. The SVZ-EDSES-2 upgrade includes an EDSES-2 system driver with new cables and an EDSES Rev2 data acquisition/conversion software.
The main advantages of the upgrade are:
1. Factor of 3 enhanced sampling rate.
2. Integrated bias modulation electronics.
3. Advanced parallel scanning mode.
4. Advanced data acquisition/conversion software, allowing faster data acquisition and more robust image processing.
SVZ Technologies has developed a new advanced sensor for the EDSES system (SU-EDSES). The option consists of the sensor, electronics unit, and supporting software.
