FEI opens China NanoPort
FEI Company has opened a NanoPort facility in Shanghai, China. The new facility is the fourth such location joining those already in operation in North America, Europe and Japan. FEI NanoPorts provide centres of technical and applications excellence focusing on collaboration with researchers and developers.
FEI NanoPorts are located in centres of technology where there are a sufficient number of customers and partners to encourage the advancement of nanoscale development. FEI's NanoPort will serve as a local resource for supporting scientific breakthroughs in China.
"China is playing a significant role in the global focus on developing new, nano-enabled technologies that have the potential to address many of the major challenges facing mankind including cleaner, renewable energy, disease, food sources, terrorism and crime," commented Benjamin Loh, executive vice president of worldwide sales and service for FEI, "Our customers in China work in electronics, life science and a wide spectrum of advanced academic and industrial research. With a NanoPort in China, we are better able to partner with them and contribute to their ongoing success and the technology advances coming out of China."
The skilled expertise of FEI's application and product experts and the equipment housed in FEI NanoPorts also provide critical resources for the co-operative development of new technologies and advances in microscopy with leading government and academic institutions such as the U.S. Department of Energy TEAM Project (achieving 0.5 Ångström resolution) and the recently announced program with the Netherlands FOM Foundation for the development of tools for single-atom imaging and processing of material structures.
The China NanoPort will house FEI solutions that provide ultra-high resolution and applications for materials inspection and characterization, including 3D characterization prototyping and analysis on the nanoscale.
