The dedicated scanning transmission microscope (STEM) HD-2700, equipped with spherical aberration corrector co-developed by CEOS GmbH (Germany, managing director: Dr. Max Haider), enables dramatically expanded STEM performance suitable for advanced nano-technology research. Due to the correction of spherical aberration which has limited the performance of electron microscope, approximately 1.5 times higher resolution and 10 times higher probe current than the standard model are achieved simultaneously.
Recently, High-resolution lens and Cold-field emission gun are available to further pursue image resolution and beam energy resolution respectively. Also, a version of main unit without Cs-corrector is also added to model line-up and leaves possibility of Cs-corrector upgrade in future. |
