Microscope électronique double faisceau pour microscopie électronique à balayage et faisceau ionique focalisé.

Specifications :

  • Multiple ion species : xenon (rapid bulk removal), agron (cleaner, more controlled milling), nitrogen and oxygen (for chemically assisted milling and enhanced contrast)

  • Integrated cryogenic workflow (cryo-transfer and cryo stage modules)

  • Automation tools

  • Three in-chamber coating materials : platinum, carbon and tungsten.

  • Integrated Fluorescence Light Microscopy (iFLM)

  • The Easylift Cryo Lift‑Out System supports precise lamella extraction directly from bulk high‑pressure frozen (HPF) specimens

Softwares :

  • AutoTEM Cryo – Automated cryo‑lamella preparation

  • MAPS 3 – Large‑area correlative imaging and navigation

  • Auto Slice & View – Automated 3D volume acquisition

Applications :

High precision sample preparation and advanced correlative imagery, biological and material sciences. Stable cryogenic temperatures, reduced beam dammage and native ultrastructure preservation. Ideal for beam sensitive materials. Adaptable to many types of samples.
