• Release of the JEM-F200, a multi purpose TEM

  JEOL's latest addition to its suite of Transmission Electron Microscopes is the versatile JEM-F200, also nicknamed "F2", the only advanced analytical, high throughput 200kV S/TEM in its class to offer a Cold Field Emission Gun and dual Silicon Drift Detectors. The combined boost in probe current from the Cold FEG with the dual EDS makes this TEM stand out in its class.The 'F2' employs the newest in JEOL innovations in an easy-to-use, extremely stable, high resolution imaging and analytical TEM. The F2 incorporates many new features:  Smart- design, with a new intuitive user interface Quad-lens condenser system,  the new 4-stageprobe-forming optical system, Quad-Lens condenser system, controls the electron beam intensity and the convergence angle independently to respond to different research requirements. Advanced Scan system,which is capable of scanning the electron beam in the image forming system (optional) , in addition to the standard scanning system for the probe-forming system. This accomplishes wide field STEM-EELS. Pico Stage Drive, which is capable of driving the stage in pico meter steps without a piezo drive, and moving the area of view in a wide dynamic range from an entire sample ...

  First structure from the JEM-F200 at the NKI in Amsterdam

  The NKI in Amsterdam has completed their first trial on the JEM-F200 equipped with Gatan K2 Camera and Elsa Cryoholder, The result is a 3.4Å reconstruction on Apoferritin. For this test 120 images were taken in 3 hours. Congratulations to Prof. Dr. Titia Sixma and Prof. Dr. Tassos Perrakis and their colleagues with this very promising test result!  
• Inauguration of the JEM-1400Plus in Ghent on 24th March 2016

  24th March 2016 knew the festive inauguration of the JEM-1400Plus, JEOL’s 120 kV TEM, in Ghent. The 1400Plus is JEOL’s latest generation 120 kV TEM. This system is extremely user-friendly and has integrated solutions for tomography as well as for large area imaging. The investment is a joint effort of 4 research centers of VIB (Flemish Institute for Biotechnology) and 1 research center of Ghent University: ·         Inflammation Research Center (VIB-IRC) ·         Plant Systems Biology (VIB-PSB) ·         Medical Biotechnology Center (VIB-MBC) ·         VIB Core facilities ·         Center for Medical Genetics Ghent University (CMGG) In her welcome speech Prof. Anne de Paepe, Rector of Ghent University and Director of CMGG, emphasized the importance of collaboration for the acquisition and exploitation of large equipment. The official “cutting of the ribbon” was followed by a demonstration of the 1400Plus and a reception with a variety of drinks and delicious snacks for the more than 100 participants.    Pictures: TOP The official “cutting of the ribbon” by Prof. Anne De Paepe, assisted by mrs. Riet De Rycke and mr. Michiel De Bruyne, transmission electron microscopists at the VIB-UGent TEM Core Facility. BOTTOM Mrs ...

  ClairScope™ (JASM-6200)

  JEOL Ltd. (Gon’emon Kurihara, President) announced a new hybrid microscope, JASM-6200 “ClairScope™” to be distributed in August 2009. Design Principle ClairScope™ consists of an atmospheric scanning electron microscope (ASEM) and an optical microscope positioned on top. The ASEM is isolated from the SEM with a thin film installed at the top end of the inverted SEM. The thin film, designed to transmit an electron beam while blocking air, separates the sample in atmosphere from the vacuum in the SEM. The electron beam is projected from below to the sample placed on the thin film for high resolution imaging of the sample in atmosphere. The same area of view of the sample can also be imaged in the optical microscope on top. The thin film is configured in a dish (thin film dish), which can be used for cell culture in a culture chamber. Features SEM imaging in complete atmospheric pressure The sample is held in complete atmospheric pressure, enabling dynamic observation of physical and chemical reactions in liquids and gases. Lengthy preliminary treatment of biological samples, including dehydration and drying, is no longer necessary, ...
