History
The first Phenom product hardware was presented to a small group at the Philips Research Center at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven in January 2005.
Its revolutionary, innovative column concept made it possible to create a product with a variety of system functionalities. Together with many partners led by the NTS-group and Sioux, under the guidance of FEI product management and technical architects, the Phenom column concept was transformed into a market-focused product. With customer input as a guide, the result was the Phenom product launch in the Netherlands in October 2006.
In subsequent years, system sales achieved coverage of over 40 countries around the world. System development was focused on creating special sample holders for specific applications, and software programs to automate measurement processes.
Sample holders such as the Charge Reduction Sample Holder and the Micro-Tool Holder, and sample container inserts such as Micro-Electronics and X-View helped specific user groups load and analyze their samples faster and with less sample preparation. The software applications are combined in the Phenom Pro Suite platform with various specialized software applications. Automated Image Mapping automatically collects images at a specific resolution and magnification, Remote Desktop helps users and service engineers to remotely control their Phenom, while Fibermetric extracts all data from any filter or fiber structure.
