Based on patented technology, nanoGPS navYX™ is an original solution for spotting the same points of interest with a high degree of accuracy and simplicity using different microscopes, and using small patterned tags fixed to the samples or their substrates. Embedded position-sensing technology allows both absolute XY coordinates and angular orientation to be automatically converted. The accuracy in re-localization is in the range of a few microns, depending on the moving stage performance of each microscope.

User benefits of nanoGPS navYX™ include:

• High accuracy relocalization of points of interest (POI) between optical (Raman, PL, Fluorescence, topographic…) and scanning electron microscopes (SE, EDS, FIB, cathodoluminescence, EBSD…)
• Instant calibration of the Coordinate Transfer System (CTS) on the various microscopes
• Snapshot recording of the pattern tag for immediate correspondence of POIs' coordinates
• Simple workflow for multiple images processing and overlay with graphYX™ correlative microscopy software, powered by Digital Surf Mountains
