| ORION®: NIST Studies How New Helium Ion Microscope Measures Up |
| |
Just recently the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US has presented a publication about its work to understand the imaging mechanisms of this new technology. Here you can find the whole article: Link to NIST homepage

| In-depth look: An image of gold atoms on tin from a state-of-the-art scanning electron microscope (left) has relatively poor depth of field–only parts of the image are in sharp focus. By contrast, the entire image from a helium ion microscope image (right) is sharp and clear. NIST researchers are studying helium ion microscopes to improve measurements at the nanoscale that are important to the semiconductor and nanomanufacturing industries. Credit: NIST |
