Your way to CAMECA
CAMECA designs and manufactures high-performance analytical instruments that measure the elemental and isotopic composition of solid materials. This includes a range of attributes from highly localized microanalysis to 3D atomic-scale characterization. Its technology portfolio includes Electron Probe MicroAnalysis (EPMA), Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS), Atom Probe Tomography (APT), and, more recently, Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion and electron source technology.
Across its three R&D and production sites in France and the United States, CAMECA supports scientific research, semiconductor development, industrial R&D, and advanced materials characterization. Visitors can arrange facility tours, instrument demonstrations, and technical discussions with CAMECA specialists. All visits should be scheduled in advance.
Visit CAMECA
This site is the best place to discover the broader CAMECA technology landscape. CAMECA is known for pioneering EPMA in the 1950s and SIMS in the 1960s, and its instruments are used to study applications ranging from geosciences and nuclear materials to metals, advanced materials, and semiconductors. For visitors, Gennevilliers offers the clearest introduction to the company’s overall mission: helping researchers and manufacturers understand materials through precise elemental and isotopic analysis.
According to CAMECA, this design enables compact, stable, and long-life ion and electron sources that can be configured for numerous applications. For visitors, Fontaine is the clearest expression of CAMECA’s beam-source expertise. It is particularly relevant for customers or partners who want to understand source integration, source reliability, plasma generation, or application-specific ion and electron beam solutions.
Atom Probe Tomography is one of CAMECA’s most advanced characterization technologies. CAMECA describes APT as the only materials analysis technique offering both 3D imaging and chemical composition measurements at the atomic scale, with approximately 0.1–0.3 nm resolution in depth and 0.3–0.5 nm laterally. That makes Madison valuable for visitors exploring atomic-scale workflows, specimen preparation, and advanced materials or semiconductor characterization.
