FIFTY YEARS OF
EXCELLENCE AND
INNOVATION
In 1969 Kratos, then AEI,
introduced the first commercially-available
electron spectrometer, the ES100. The wide
range of possible applications included catalysis 2
study, corrosion research, structural organic
chemistry and ceramics technology. The ES-
series of spectrometers proved popular and 3
established Kratos’ position as a leader in
surface analysis instrumentation. Developments
led to the XSAM instruments of the 1980’s and
then in the 1990’s, the AXIS series.
Fifty years later the commitment to improve 1 Spherical mirror analyser
