Advantages and Capabilities
Fundamental research within the scope of cell biology, structural biology, soft matter and (bio)-nanotechnology requires investigations down to the atomic level. TEMs are of paramount importance to obtain high magnification and high resolution 2D and 3D information of cells and organelles or even smaller cell constituents. A prerequisite for optimal 2D and 3D-tomographic imaging is a high level of tool automation and intelligence.
Focusing on sub-90nm technologies, the Tecnai is configured for the highest S/TEM throughput. Cost per sample is reduced without compromise in performance in S/TEM, TEM and EDS modes. Enabling ultra high-resolution imaging, analysis and characterization, the full featured easy-to-use Tecnai TEMs deliver a complete solution for defect and failure analysis.
Featured Tools in the Tecnai Family
The Tecnai G² Polara [PDF 60KB] TEM is a 300 kV TEM dedicated for cryo applications at liquid nitrogen and liquid helium temperatures. The Polara is ready for new applications like EFTEM (for analytical capabilities), or remote operation of an automatic aperture system (for further automation). The Tecnai G² 30 TWIN is a highly automated 300 kV TEM equipped with a TWIN lens. It can also be equipped with dedicated software and hardware for superb TEM imaging, both in 2D and in 3D mode.
Applications with Tecnai Family Models
