The is a user-friendly transmission electron microscope (TEM), capable of a wide range of analysis from biological research to soft materials science. This TEM is designed to operate in tunable accelerating voltages ranging from 20kV up to 120kV, allowing users to image their specimens in a variety of conditions such as low magnification, wide-field high contrast (HC) and high resolution (HR). Several advanced features like advanced stage navigation, image stitching, 3D tomography, STEM, EDX and Diffraction. This instrument can achieve a resolution of 0.14 nm at 120kV. Images can be taken at a maximum magnification of up to 1,000,000x.
