Abstract

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is used for the simultaneous determination of micro/nano and crystal structure of inorganic and organic materials. Devices with lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) electron gun operating under accelerating voltage in the range of 40-200 kV are particularly suitable for imaging biological, polymeric and nano-structured materials in high resolution (HR) or high contrast (HC) mode. The device can switch from search mode (viewing the on-screen camera) to high-quality, full-size image capture mode (main camera mode) with the push of a button, allowing quick snapshots of the selected area. Since the device can switch from high resolution mode to high contrast mode very quickly, it is suitable for versatile use and is suitable for examining and analyzing both materials and various biological samples.
