The microscope controller is dedicated to its primary function, includes a DVD/RW and has a possibility to connect directly to a LAN. Optionally, a support computer can be connected for additional functionality such as MS-Office software suite, firewall, anti-virus and other non-instrument software.
This instrument is RAPID-enabled. RAPID (Remote Access Program for Interactive Diagnostics) is a highly secure connectivity tool that enables Thermo Fisher Scientific's service engineers to connect directly to the instrument to address system issues remotely. RAPID can significantly speed up repair time and thus reduce instrument downtimes, while improving Thermo Fisher Scientific's overall quality of service. Thermo Fisher Scientific's service engineers use RAPID to perform remote system diagnostics and repairs, support user operation and view images for enhancing system performance. However, customers maintain complete control of how and when RAPID is used -- each RAPID session must be initiated by the customer. RAPID requires a high-speed internet connection (> 5 MB/sec recommended, 1 MB/sec required). For full details please browse to the RAPID pages on the Thermo Fisher Scientific website

Thermo Scientific Maps is the system automation and correlative microscopy software suite for SEM and DualBeam systems. Maps provide automated acquisition of image mosaics via easy set up and offers complete control on location, resolution and imaging parameters. Maps make it easy to set up multiple mosaic acquisitions on a single sample, or on multiple samples loaded in the chamber. Maps also make it easy to re-align and collect data over multiple imaging sessions.
Maps Correlative Workflow serves as a powerful addition to the Maps correlative microscopy suite. Users can input images from any source via a wide range of standard image formats. Maps provide guideflows to import, align and visualize all sample imagery. Users have control over visualized layers, transparency of each layer and native histogram controls for SEM images. Users can also easily share results using the optional offline version. Annotations including text, linear and angular measurements can be made by multiple users and shared in a single project for a collaborative interpretation experience.
Key Features:
Maps 3 Offline with Correlative Workflow is intended for running on dedicated image processing computers. The offline version of Maps 3 with Correlative Workflow requires at least 4 GB of RAM memory and can be connected to multiple Maps.
