FDSEM - The Portable Field Deployable SEM

The world's first truly portable scanning electron microscope
Housed in a heavy-gauge steel cabinet with integrated vibration isolation, it can be rolled or forklifted into service in under ten minutes by a single operator. Designed originally to meet the extreme demands of go/no-go testing in flight combat conditions for the U.S. Air Force, the unique system can be deployed in equally demanding conditions such as mines, heavy manufacturing, engine and heavy equipment maintenance, and related applications, including high-dust and high-vibration environments.

Engineered for fast deployment in tough environments
The ASPEX FD is fully contained and requires no external air, cooling water, liquid nitrogen, or filtering systems. It is ideally suited for the analysis of metallic contaminants in lubrication fluids as a method for predicting mechanism failure in high-stress applications such as military jet engines.

The FD incorporates all the features and functions of the PSEM with added Perception software functionality.

Additional Features
Supplemental to standard ASPEX PSEM specifications, the Field Deployable model also includes:

• two integral high-resolution LCD monitors for simultaneous information
• full-function keyboard that can be retracted and locked
• peltier-cooled x-ray detector that does not require liquid nitrogen
• large access foors and roll-out optics permit easy servicing
• all access doors gasketed and key lockable
  
  

Optional Power Unit
The optional power conditioning and battery-backup companion unit automatically adapts to line conditions anywhere in the world and provides glitch-free operation through surges, brownouts, spikes and even total outages up to one-and-a-half hours in duration.

• options for 30, 60, or 90 minutes of battery backup
• automatically adapts to 110 or 240 VAC, frequencies of 48-62 Hz.
• Brownouts to 90V without discharging battery
• Fully enclosed in heavy gauge steel cabinet with locking access doors
• Cabinet provides roll-out storage for a system printer and a drawer for storage of supplies
