Description

The Titan Themis3 300 is our high-end TEM providing high-resolution imaging as well as high performance analytical investigation capabilities. This double-aberration-corrected TEM corrects both the image and the probe forming system enabling high-resolution imaging in TEM as well as scanning TEM (STEM) mode resulting in resolution limits below 1 Å for both modes for all high tensions between 60 kV and 300 kV. The high brightness electron gun (X-FEG) equipped with a monochromator to improve the energy resolution in combination with a high-sensitivity SDD X-ray spectrometer (Super-X) and a high-resolution post-column energy filter (GIF Quantum) creates a high performance analytical instrument perfectly suited for the nanoanalytical characterization of all kinds of materials and devices. Energy filtered TEM (EFTEM) imaging, high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) as well as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) yield chemical, elemental as well as bonding information even down to the atomic scale. Additionally information about local band gaps and plasmonics are gained by monochromated low-loss EELS investigations. Furthermore the Titan Themis3 300 is used to perform advanced in situ experiments using special TEM specimen holders. A further advanced method available at the Titan Themis3 300 is electron tomography enabling the analytical characterization of materials and devices in 3 dimensions. This high-end analytical TEM is used to answer the most complex questions regarding materials science.
