Focus MARIS Series and SPECS Systems – The new Dream Team

Today, we are happy to announce a new era in photoemission and momentum microscopy for SPECSGROUP. As of July 1st, 2025 the Focus MARIS series including the NanoESCA MARIS and TOF MARIS are officially available as a product from SPECS Surface Nano Analysis GmbH. Following the merger of Focus and SPECS about 1 year ago, we now reach another milestone of the joined efforts. SPECS’ proven momentum microscopy portfolio of KREIOS and METIS is expanded by the MARIS series. SPECS will now also offer the well known NanoESCA Maris and TOF MARIS components integrated  in SPECS ProvenX, FlexMod and customized systems.

Being the evolution of the NanoESCA and TOF PEEM technology of Focus, the MARIS series is now available as a fully modular and advanced momentum microscopy and PEEM solution. With this highly configurable instrument, the existing portfolio of KREIOS 150 S, KREIOS 150 MM and METIS 1000 gains a new partner with strong emphasis on upgradeability, PEEM performance and flexible operation modes. 

In the last months, the MARIS and system experts have laid the foundation of a well-integrated instrument into the system portfolio of SPECS. Advanced system control, high performance UV and X-ray sources and powerful interoperability to other system solutions will round up the already strong NanoESCA and TOF MARIS performance.
