Tabletop SEM Technology Redefined: NanoImages
A Fresh Perspective in Microscopy
Since 2016, NanoImages has revolutionized the tabletop SEM market by introducing innovative solutions previously unavailable in North America. While established brands like Hitachi, Jeol, and Phenom dominated the landscape, we recognized a critical gap in capabilities and features that researchers desperately needed.
Our Journey
Our story began at a pivotal trade show meeting with SEC Co. Ltd., South Korea's pioneering e-beam technology leader. This partnership sparked a transformation in the tabletop SEM market, bringing advanced capabilities at accessible price points. By exclusively representing SEC's innovative product line, we've quickly emerged as a formidable alternative to traditional manufacturers.

Our
Products
The SNE-Alpha, the most advanced tabletop SEM on the market. With a motorized 5-axis stage, optical navigational camera, 1-30kV accelerating voltages, SE/BSE, and high/low vacuum standard. The SNE-Alpha now comes with a new and improved GUI, and advanced software capabilities (3D rendering, image stitching, and particle size analysis) allow for a complete inspection and analysis of your samples. With a smaller footprint than the previous model and shortened pump down times, less lab space is needed and less time for sample turnaround. The SNE-Alpha can add EDS, Raman, CL, EBSD, and EBIC. With more options available soon, the SNE-Alpha can meet your SEM needs.
Simple Lease
Financing for Tabletop SEM
Leases can be custom tailored to suit just about any need you might have including Down Payments to lower monthly lease, Quarterly Payments, No Payments for 90-120 days, Purchase Upon Termination (PUT lease) and more. AmeriTech Leasing makes it easy to acquire the system you need today rather waiting for capital approvals.
Our Mission
At NanoImages, we're dedicated to revolutionizing the world of electron microscopy by bridging the gap between traditional full-size SEMs and tabletop solutions.
