Transmission Electron Microscopy
This multi-task platform can analyse ultra-thin sections or particles, which enables morphological imaging from tissue to atomic level. It can also deliver compositional analysis, elemental mapping and crystalline phase determination. It supports advanced material manufacturing, next-generation energy storage solutions, environmental remediation, industrial catalysts, molecule and drug deliver design, and biomedical research.
Is a analytical electron microscope that supports a variety of scientific fields, from biology to material sciences.
