FEI Tecnai F20 TEM/STEM

By Carnegie Mellon University

The 200kV FEI Tecnai F20 Super-Twin is designed to produce optimum high-resolution performance in both TEM and STEM. This microscope features a 2048x2048 CCD camera positioned after the Gatan Imaging Filter (GIF) that can be used for both dedicated spectroscopic analysis and energy-filtered imaging. The high Resolution Gatan Rio Camera can deliver high resolution and real time speed for imaging applications. This microscope is optimized for materials applications that require either high-resolution STEM performance (imaging and spectroscopy by Electron Energy Loss Energy and Dispersive XRAY) or correlated imaging and analytical methods (for TEM and STEM). The Tecnai F20 is equipped with a Lorentz Lens for magnetic imaging in Fresnel and Fouccault modes, and a NanoMegas Astar system for automated phase/orientation mapping of nanocrystals materials. Also available is the Gatan STEMx System, which is a powerful tool that adds 4D STEM diffraction capabilities to the Gatan in-situ Rio camera.
