Small, Easy, Affordable - Hitachi tabletop electron microscope TM-1000
How about an electron microscope in the same price range as a professional light microscope, but with better performance? How about an electron microscope that does not require any prior knowledge of electon microscopy? Not possible?
The tabletop microscope TM-1000 from Hitachi and new graphical user interface makes it dead easy to use and in less than 15 minutes any user will be operating the tabletop microscope on their own, irrespective of prior knowledge of electron microscopy.
When compared to a light microscope, the tabletop electron microscope gives ten times more magnification and one hundred times better depth of field. With a resolution of 30 nm the tabletop microscope can image details never seen with a light microscope. The microscope can be run in high vacuum or charge up reduction mode (low vacuum mode), reducing sample preparation time and removing the need to coat samples. Additionally, the BSE detector enables compositional information to be observed: contrast is produced by changes in atomic numer. An optional EDX system also is available.
TM-1000 is only 56 cm by 56 cm by 51 cm in size and can fit on any regular desk or lab bench. Power consumption of only 500W (less than your coffee machine) and no requirement for water cooling makes it environmentaly friendly. The microscope is connected by USB so you can run it on any computer of your choice. Service of the machine is only every 5 years, if used 8 hours per day and five days per week.
What about price? Less than € 50.000 and it is yours!
