• JEM-ARM300F: The Ultimate Atomic Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope

  Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has long been a tool essential for micro structure evaluation in the field of materials development. However, as the fine structures of advanced materials are being designed at the nano level or atomic level, the synthetic process for such materials increasingly requires imaging and analysis at higher resolution. To meet this demand, JEOL has focused on development of a transmission electron microscope incorporating spherical aberration correctors to exceed the current resolution boundary. In 2009, JEOL announced the JEM-ARM200F, a 200 kV atomic resolution analytical transmission electron microscope featuring spherical aberration correctors, which achieved a resolution of 80 pm (scanning transmission (STEM) image) as the first ever commercial electron microscope.  To achieve the atomic level resolution, the JEM-ARM200F incorporates various capabilities to ensure highly stable operation.  With over 100 units of the ARM200F currently in operation worldwide, many researchers have become familiar with atomic level imaging and analysis. Meanwhile, as aberration correctors are widely used, various new requirements for transmission electron microscopy are emerging, in addition to higher resolution, including higher analytical sensitivity, in-situ imaging, flexible accelerating voltage control, ...

  First JEOL JEM-ARM200F Electron Microscope Produces Atomic Resolution Data in Record Time at University of San Antonio

  The first transmission electron microscope of its caliber to be installed, the eagerly awaited atomic resolution JEOL JEM-ARM200F TEM arrived at the University of Texas at San Antonio in January, and by early February began producing outstanding imaging results. “Achieving raw HAADF images showing at least 78 picometer information transfer in just three weeks demonstrates the stability of this all-new instrument and the skill of the UTSA-JEOL team to quickly power up the first TEM of its kind,” said Dr. Thomas Isabell, JEOL USA Director of the TEM Product Division. UTSA physics and astronomy department chair Dr. Miguel Yacaman, a renowned electron microscopist and nanotechnology researcher, tested the new ARM200F performance on Si samples as the JEOL engineering, service and applications team worked closely together to install the TEM in UTSA’s Advanced Microscopy Lab. “At the level of this new microscope, the potential for new discoveries is enormous,” says Yacaman, who likened the capabilities of the JEOL ARM200F for sub-atomic research to those of the Hubble telescope for intergalactic exploration. The ARM200F represents more than 60 years of TEM expertise at JEOL ...

• Release of a new Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope: The JSM-7200F

  JEOL has released the  JSM-7200F, a multi-purpose FE-SEM combining high-resolution and easy operation. Scanning electron microscopes have been used in a wide range of fields and for diverse applications. The JSM-7200F utilizes JEOL proprietary in-lens Schottky Plus technology that allows improvement in the resolution at low accelerating voltages (1.6 nm @ 1 kV), and achieves a maximum probe current of 300 nA. The JSM-7200F is a multi-purpose FE-SEM that can satisfy a wide range of needs with both higher resolution and easier operation than conventional instruments.The features include: High resolution of 1.6 nm at 1 kV, 1.2nm at 30kV. High-speed analysis: maximum probe current of 300 nA, allowing short acquisition time for EDS, WDS, and EBSD, while maintaining high resolution. Energy signal differentiation: incorporation of the TTL (through-the-lens) system in the standard configuration enables the use of energy filtering to selectively differentiate the electron energies. Wide area analysis: the LDF (long depth of field) mode enables applications like wide-area EBSD analysis, without the need to use stage scan (montage).
