(Cryo) TEM/STEM

The three TEM instruments at DTU Nanolab are dedicated instruments for high-performance, high-resolution imaging of nanomaterials.

Our Tecnai instrument is optimized for imaging low-contrast samples with sub-nm spatial resolution making it ideal for imaging bacteria and cells when combined with ultramicrotomy sample preparation and fixation, either chemical or cryogenic.

Our Titan and Spectra TEMs are able tocan image materials with a spatial resolution better than 0.8Å.

All instruments are equipped with elemental analysis capabilities (EDX) and electron energy-loss spectroscopy EELS for chemical analysis and mapping. The instruments can be operated both in TEM (parallel image acquisition) and STEM (serial image acquisition).

TEMs at DTU Nanolab:

  • Tecnai T20 G2
  • Titan E-Cell 80-300ST TEM
  • Spectra Ultra (to be installed ultimo 2023)
