kSA 400

Analyze Reflection High-Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) patterns with unrivaled accuracy…

The kSA 400 combines a high-resolution, high-speed, and high-sensitivity camera with sophisticated acquisition and analysis software. With the kSA 400, you can analyze RHEED patterns during deposition and annealing to evaluate growth rate, lattice spacing, strain evolution, and more.
