This new generation of Analyte system delivers finely controlled, flat (homogenized) ablations with high sensitivity and split second response for shot-to-shot, spatially resolved analyses. Fire-on-the-fly lasing triggered by the stage motion controller provides depth profiling of lines and raster areas like never before. The G2 features a color HD zoom video microscope plus a live, wide field of view, sample map camera for fast navigation of the sample cell. The combination of ultra-short pulse length and 193nm wavelength is unsurpassed in coupling efficiency. As a result the G2 yields higher peak energy for total ablation, producing smaller particles that ionize readily with less noise and fractionation than large format excimer lasers.
