Hitachi HF5000 Cs-STEM/TEM

A cold field emission transmission electron microscope fitted with spherical aberration corrector on the probe-forming lens systems. The HF5000 is capable of imaging atomic structures with a resolution of less than 100pm. It can acquire atomic chemical information using energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (chemical information) and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (chemical and bonding information). The microscope provides electron tomography for three dimensional imaging of structures.
