Meet Unity: The World’s First BEX Imaging Detector 

Unity redefines electron microscopy by merging Backscattered Electron and X-ray imaging into a single, high-speed technique—BEX. Launched at M&M 2023, Unity delivers instant, high-resolution images that combine topographic, crystallographic, atomic number, and elemental data in one view. 

Key Benefits:

• 100x Faster: Image and analyze entire samples in minutes
• All-in-One Imaging: Combines multiple data types into a single visual output
• Smart Design: Dual-sensor head fits under the microscope pole-piece
• Effortless Navigation: Simplifies complex analysis with intuitive workflows

Discover how Unity can transform your lab’s productivity and precision.
