PICA 1020 - The Affordable Scanning Electron Microscope
Superior particle analysis capabilities at an affordable price
The new ASPEX PICA 1020 provides superior particle analysis capabilities at a price you can't beat. It's clearly designed for "out of the lab" applicaitons, ephasizing speed, reliability and low cost of ownership while requiring no liquid nitrogen. Employing a "design for use" philosophy, ASPEX has created a tool with plenty of power to do your routine automated particle analysis with unmatched ease, speed, and reliability.
Unattended Automated Particle Analysis.
Each
PICA comes equipped with the Perception software suite, which
provides a powerful set of tools for microanalysis. Although it is very economically priced, it still comes standard with an LN-free EDX spectrometer and is capable of unattended automated particle analysis. When
coupled with optional ASPEX software such as AFA, or CFA it becomes a fully automated particle analysis system—faster,
and with greater accuracy and at a lower cost, than can be achieved
by other means.
Analyze the unknown and unseen
The PICA works in a broad spectrum of production-environment and laboratory applications.
