FEI's market-leading transmission electron microscopes (TEM) feature fully integrated and automated operation for a range of applications requiring ultra-high resolution to sub-Ångström levels. Transmission electron microscopes (TEM) utilize very thin (0.5 µm or less) samples illuminated by an electron beam. Images are recorded by detecting the electrons that pass though the sample to a system of electromagnetic lenses which focus and enlarge the image on a fluorescent screen, photographic film or digital camera. Magnifications beyond 1,000,000X are attainable with a transmission electron microscope
Three FEI product families offer TEM and S/TEM systems:
The best value-for-the-money transmission electron microscope (TEM) system for biology and the life sciences, it is also adaptable, easy-to-use and delivers excellent image quality.
The Tecnai family of TEM models are designed specifically for the high-contrast imaging needs found in life science and soft matter research, semiconductor and data storage industries and top multi-user laboratories everywhere.
The FEI Titan™ S/TEM family includes the world's most powerful, commercially-available S/TEMs: the Titan™ 80-300, Titan3™, Titan Krios™ and Titan™ ETEM (Environmental TEM). Built around a revolutionary 80-300 kV electron column, all Titans enable sub-Ångström, atomic scale discovery and exploration in both TEM and STEM modes over a wide range of materials and operating conditions.
