The TFS Spectra 300 is a state-of-the-art FEG Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (S/TEM) with a high-tension voltage range of 30 kV – 300 kV. Thanks to its specially designed enclosure it is not only possible to transfer information well below 1 Å resolution, it also allows the system to easily reach ultra-high resolution routinely in a noisier environment.
