New FIB-SEM for PLANETE

The PLANETE technology platform, part of CINaM, has strengthened its micro and nanofabrication facilities with the acquisition of a latest-generation HELIOS 5 UC FIB-SEM (Focused Ion Beam – Scanning Electron Microscope) system from ThermoFisher Scientific. This new instrument, co-financed by the French government and local authorities (Région Sud and Ville de Marseille) as part of the Contrat de Plan État-Région (CPER 2021-2027) and the Programme et Équipement Prioritaire de Recherche (PEPR électronique), marks a strategic step for the research, training and innovation activities supported by the platform.
