Waviks, Inc.

Waviks was founded in 2013 by Dr. Tom Moore in Dallas, TX, to develop and produce innovative accessories for the SEM, FIB, HIM, and TEM to facilitate nanoanalysis and nanofabrication. Waviks core team has enjoyed more than 50 years of experience in designing and producing nanomanipulation and nanofabrication accessories for Omniprobe, Inc., now an Oxford Instruments company. Waviks carries on the tradition of high value accessories and a focus on customer satisfaction that can best be provided by a small and agile corporation. Waviks cornerstone product is the Vesta® laser sample heating system for the TEM, SEM. FIB and TEM. The Vesta® system relies on Waviks expertise in fully programmable nanomanipulators and the physics of nanofabrication. The Vesta® system produces a very small (10 um) heated area on the sample, so fast temperature ramping is easy and multiple sites on the same sample can be examined. There is no thermal damage to detectors or the column, and there is minimal thermal-mechanical drift in the sample, so long duration studies and movies are easy. The laser can be pulsed to look at transient events. On the analytical side, EEGS (Electron Energy Gain Spectroscopy) with laser stimulation is possible.
