Applied Beams LLC is dedicated to extending the life and enhancing the performance of the ever growing installed base of FIB and SEM systems around the world. We are a leading supplier of FIB and SEM consumables, micro-machining services, and system upgrades. With 30+ years of experience with ion and electron beam systems design, manufacture and applications we provide a unique ability to meet customer needs with these powerful technologies.

We serve the semiconductor, materials analysis and research communities, and proudly support the US Government with our unique ability to develop and deliver custom FIB and SEM systems.

  • FIB and SEM Consumables — Our high quality, affordable extractors, suppressors, liquid metal ion sources, Schottky electron sources, and aperture strips are direct replacements for original components, keeping your FIB, SEM and dual column FIB-SEM systems operating at optimum performance and on budget.

  • HyperFIB upgrade — Our high-current HyperFIB system is the only plasma FIB upgrade on the market for legacy FIB tools, increasing available current for micromachining, cross-sectioning and material deposition from just 20nA to over 7uA, an improvement of 350X!

  • Caesium control system upgrade — Extend the performance and life of your FEI/Philips XL-series or Camscan SEM with our Caesium™ series control system upgrade. Derived from CamScan Helios™ software, Caesium runs on the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system with new features, new capabilities, and brings your XL-series or Camscan SEM into the 21st century.
