FEI Company (FEIC) President and Chief Executive Officer to Ring NASDAQ Stock Market Closing Bell

ADVISORY, June 25, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) --

What: Don Kania, president & CEO, FEI Company (FEIC), will preside over the closing bell to celebrate the launch of its new Phenom(tm) microscope, an innovative tabletop system that is expected to bring high-resolution imaging to a much broader base of users and accelerate scientific discovery and new product development. Phenom provides magnification up to 20,000x, far beyond the range of traditional optical microscopes, yet at approximately one-third the price of a traditional SEM. Because of its simplicity, compact design and comparable price to high-end optical systems, the Phenom will be affordable for many more undergraduate and community college programs, mainstreaming access to the nanoscale.
