Scanning helium ion microscope


A scanning helium ion microscope (SHIM, HeIM or HIM) is a high-resolution imaging instrument that uses a scanning helium ion beam to visualize at sub-nanometer resolution. It was developed in the mid-2000s for nanotechnology applications, and has been demonstrated to have a better surface resolution than scanning electron microscopes.
