Presentation of the microscope

This "workhorse" TEM is ideally suited for conventional transmission electron microscopy. E.g. Studying extended defects/dislocations, size and shape of nano-objects (nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanowires) and electron diffraction.

Microscope features

The JEOL 2100 is equipped with a high tilt pole piece with a point-to-point resolution of 0.25 nm at 200 kV. The minimum probe size is ~1 nm. The microscope is equipped with a STEM module and both a bright field and annular dark field detector.

The microscope is aligned at 80, 120 & 200 kV and is equipped with a bottom mount Orius SC1000 CCD camera (Gatan)

Analytical accessories

Sample holders

JEOL single tilt holder (X-tilt: +/-42°), JEOL analytical Be double-tilt holder (X-tilt: +/-42°, Y-tilt)
