We are excited at M&M2023 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota, from July 24th to 27th, 2023!
We will be demonstrating Unity - the world’s first BEX imaging detector that combines Backscattered Electron and X-ray (BEX) imaging in a single technique, simultaneously. We will also have the latest in traditional Electron Microscope analytics and fluorescent microscopy on display, alongside Oxford Instruments’ broader Materials Analysis and Life Science capabilities, with live demonstrations available.
The BC43 Andor Benchtop Confocal Microscope, which delivers amazing images at the push of a button, will also be on show. WITec Raman imaging and correlative Raman-SEM (RISE) solutions, which redefine the state-of-the-art in speed, sensitivity and resolution along with Suite SIX, the newest version of WITec’s integrated software environment for instrument control and data analysis. As is our Cypher AFM, which routinely achieves higher resolution than other AFMs and is available with a full range of operating modes, environmental controls, and even video-rate scanning.
We look forward to seeing you on booth 620.

Unity is the World’s first BEX imaging detector. It works by combining Backscattered Electron and X-ray imaging into a single technique – BEX. Unity is making it easier than ever before to image and analyse an entire sample in minutes, due to the high-speed of BEX data collection, and is boosting microscope productivity by up to 100x. Fundamental to the speed and power of Unity is its unique design. It combines two types of sensor within one detector head and sits under the microscope pole-piece. The game-changing Unity detector combines the topographic, crystallographic, atomic number and elemental information into an instant high-resolution visual output. So, users can effortlessly navigate around the sample, and sophisticated analysis can be simpler and faster than ever.
AZtecLive 6.1 is the latest release of this marketing-leading software platform, bringing with it some significant advances. The new AZtecMatch functionality enables AZtec EDS users to identify features or samples automatically in the electron microscope. With AZtecWave, elemental maps can now be acquired simultaneously using EDS and WDS, enhancing the speed of EDS analysis with the sensitivity of WDS and ensuring accurate mapping results for trace elements or elements affected by X-ray peak overlaps. For those working with EBSD, the new “Optimize Experiment” step in AZtecHKL simplifies the EBSD data collection process by guiding users through every stage of an EBSD measurement, ensuring maximum analysis speeds and optimum data quality, whatever the application
