Thermo Scientific Talos F200X STEM
The Thermo Scientific Talos F200X STEM is a scanning transmission electron microscope that excels at delivering high-resolution STEM and TEM imaging, paired with industry-leading energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) detection. Its 2D and 3D chemical characterization, achieved through compositional mapping, is powered by four in-column SDD Super-X detectors, ensuring ultra-clean results. The Talos F200X enables rapid, precise EDS analysis in multiple dimensions, while providing high-resolution TEM and STEM imaging (HRTEM and HRSTEM) with swift navigation for dynamic microscopy. Its design also minimizes sensitivity to environmental factors, as the instrument’s enclosure reduces the impact of air pressure fluctuations, airflow, and subtle temperature changes in the lab.
STEM Imaging and Chemical Analysis
The Talos F200X (S)TEM offers fast and accurate quantitative characterization of nanomaterials in multiple dimensions. With advanced features aimed at enhancing throughput, accuracy, and ease of operation, it’s an excellent tool for research and analysis in academic, governmental, semiconductor, and industrial fields.
The demand for large-area, high-resolution correlative imaging has grown, as it allows researchers to retain context while generating statistically significant data. Thermo Scientific Maps Software, powered by Thermo Scientific Velox Software, automates the process by acquiring multiple images across a sample and seamlessly stitching them together into a single large image. This can even be done unattended. The Automated Particle Workflow (APW) pack expands on this by offering unique processing on a dedicated PC with Thermo Scientific Avizo2D Software. This setup allows for automated extraction of nanoparticle parameters such as size, area, perimeter, shape, and contact points. Fully automated and capable of unattended operation, the system ensures 24/7 use of the Talos F200X (S)TEM, significantly improving statistical reliability by eliminating operator bias.
