About

B-nano has developed and commercialized the airSEM, an innovative scanning electron microscope that can operate in the open air. The companys technology sidesteps the main obstacles stemming from the need for a vacuum as a prerequisite for capturing high-resolution images. B-nanos proprietary technology overcomes fundamental electron beam imaging-related challenges, such as the scattering of electrons by gas molecules and efficient signal collection, leading to a resolution of 5nm under ambient conditions. The companys sales began in 2012, with an initial focus on industrial applications in which the airSEM is integrated into a metrology tool operating in a modern flat-panel display (FPD). B-nano is now entering the lab market, and seeks to make airSEM the standard microscopy platform in modern materials science and life science microscopy laboratories.
