It is a transmission electron microscope with good imaging capabilities. It allows investigation of thin material science / biological specimen, from brittle materials to cells and bio-membranes. Complemented by a Focused Ion Beam for lamella preparation, it reaches a resolution of >5 nm at 80 kV and >2 nm at 120 kV. It can be operated in bright field, dark field and diffraction mode, as well as in STEM mode if required.
Filament: LaB6 thermoionic emission - Acceleration Voltage: 80 kV (bio specimen) and 120 kV (material science) - Sample holder: single tilt, hosting standard 3.5 mm TEM grid - Detection: fluorescence screen / Eagle camera - Ancillary sample preparation instrumenation: FEI Quanta 3D FIB, equipped with an omniprobe liftout micromanipulator
