The FEI Tecnai F30 is a 300kV FEG scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) that forms one of the cornerstones of the Advanced Electron Microscopy Core Facility. The microscope can be operated at the maximum accelerating voltage of 300 kV and is capable of atomic resolution imaging in both TEM and STEM modes. The microscope uses a Schottky field emission gun as its electron source, providing the highest current density and the smallest electron probe-size, which are critical for high spatial-resolution analysis using the scanning mode.The microscope is currently equipped with a high performance CCD camera with 4k x 4k resolution for image recording, and STEM detectors for bright-field, annular dark-field, and high-angle annual dark-field imaging.

Highligted Features include:

• • High brightness Schottky emitter operated at 300 kV
  • Super Twin Lens
  • Digital CCD camera with 4k x 4k image resolution
  • Low dose capability
  • Plastic 3D electron tomography
  • Plastic STEM 3D tomography

The FEI Spirit is is an easy-to-use transmission electron microscope that provides high-contrast and high-resolution images of plastic-embedded thin-sectioned material, negative stained samples, Cryo-EM single particle, and samples prepared for immunolabeling. The high-contrast images produced by the Spirit are due to its unique BioTWIN lens, which is designed for optimal contrast and for observing stained and unstained biological material.

Highligted Features include:

• • Digital CCD Camera 2k x 2k image resolution
  • C-Twin
  • Low Dose capability
  • Routine Imaging
  • Automatic beam alignments
