Combination of high reputation Hitachi cold field emission electron source and 300 kV accelerating voltage realizes both ultrahigh resolution imaging and high sensitivity analysis. Spatially resolved EELS and high precision parallel nanobeam electron beam diffraction open a new avenue for efficient and high precision material analysis.
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.
The HT7700 was designed with groundbreaking features, chief among these are a superior level of operability and an extensive range of useful digital imaging functions. These features ensure usability across the broadest possible range of applications fields, from the main application area of biomedicine to nanotechnology and soft carbon-based materials. Furthermore, the decision to integrate a high-resolution digital camera and microscope operation has made possible a simplified system control with one monitor, allowing sample observation even under ordinary room lights.
