News from FA Instruments - Products for Analytical Microscopy

A big "Thank You" to all our customers and colleagues who visited us at ISTFA last November in San Jose. Please do take the time to read our latest technical papers which were presented at ISTFA. These can be downloaded from our LIBRARY.

Our New facility includes a dedicated sample preparation area. This area complements the service and applications work that we offer to our customers and industry colleagues. We look forward to assisting you in current market upturn.

There are many reasons to choose FA INSTRUMENTS, including...

We are one of the longest existing manufacturers of Emission microscope and TLS laser systems -- dating back to 1995 with Alpha Innotech.

We still support the FA 1000 for service/repair and upgrades as well as upgrades for the FA2000. We also offer upgrades to some of the old Hypervision products.

Our systems range from low cost imaging/inspect tools in the $30K range to high end TLS systems with options for InGaAs and InSb sensor technologies into the $500 to $600K range.

One of our many advantages is the modularity and portability of the product as well as an upgrade path across generations.

We believe in providing tools to the FA community designed "By Failure Analysts for Failure Analysts". The tools are constantly evolving as we pride ourselves on delivering tools that meet specific customer needs via our modular approach.

We hold an Extensive patent portfolio.

We can offer Training/Assistance with your specific defect analysis.

Please be sure to evaluate your samples on the competing tools keeping in mind the importance of ease of use and success of detection rather than taking ours or any other vendors word for it.

We want to wish you a prosperous 2010!
