Compact, robust and easy to use TEM completes product portfolio

The CENTRA™ 100, a transmission electron microscope with up to 100 kV accelerating voltage is specially designed as a sophisticated “imaging system”, highly compact and robust. The instrument offers maximum resolution down to 0.2 nm. The ease-of-use and fast specimen exchange capability make this microscope particularly well-suited for biomedical or clinical laboratory environments. It also features low operating costs, high specimen throughput, a very attractive price/performance ratio and low space requirements thanks to the small footprint.
A key technical feature of the system is the option of choosing between two different imaging modes: high resolution and high contrast. This is particularly important for investigating low-contrast biological specimens. The specially developed mini-lens design leads to a very compact size where the electron-optical lens elements exhibit a minimum aberration level only. The use of four lens elements in the projection system enables rotation-free imaging while the magnification is being changed. Furthermore, additional deflection systems support the image-fine-shift that enables the generation of panorama images.
