CATHODYNE
Optical cathodoluminescence
CATHODYNE
Cathodyne® is an advanced technology created by NewTec Scientific fully controlled by a user-friendly software.
The motorized stage fits up to two thin sections or slabs. The build-in stitching option allows acquiring large-area maps in cathodoluminescence, transmitted or oblique reflected light in a few minutes. The software-controlled, automatic voltage and current regulation provides great image homogeneity over large areas and reproducibility.
