YPS-184

The YPS-184 Schottky Module is a drop-in alternative for the FEI SEM unit. The suppressor aperture has a diameter of 400µm and the emitter protrudes 250µm from the suppressor electrode. The YPS-184 module is also compatible with Tescan FESEMs.

The 184 module is also used by several electron optical manufacturers in their instruments (CD-SEM, EPMA, etc.), please contact us for your specific requirements.
