Description

General description

The JEOL JEM-F200 located in the Hilmer Building (E10) is high-resolution analytical (scanning) transmission electron microscope (S/TEM). This microscope has a high brightness cold-field emission gun capable of imaging atomic structures (HRTEM), electron diffraction and fast chemical elemental mapping using X-ray energy dispersive Spectroscopy (XEDS). Additionally, this microscope is specially configured for in-situ S/TEM imaging and 4D-STEM utilising our range of in-situ holders and high speed in-situ movie recording camera.
