Overview

Hydrocarbon contamination is one of the most common barriers to high-quality SEM and TEM imaging. Whether introduced during sample preparation or built up during imaging, these carbon-based residues can obscure fine details, distort data, and waste valuable time.
The Hitachi ZoneSEM II and ZoneTEM II UV-based Sample Cleaners provide a safe, efficient, and chemical-free way to remove this contamination - right at your lab bench. Using low-energy UV light and activated oxygen, these compact devices gently clean your samples without damaging delicate structures or altering surface properties.
