Location: Building 38, Room E18

Brief Description: The Zeiss Leo 912 Omega is a 120 kV transmission electron microscope equipped with an in-column OMEGA-energy filtering system and Koehler Illumination system for high image contrast. The microscope is equipped for a wide range of element analyses (EDS, EFTEM, ESI, EELS). The Leo 912 patented goniometer enables (cryo) 3D TEM tomography.

Technical Specifications

Electron Column: Acceleration voltage up to 120 kV, LaB6 electron source.

Koehler illumination for true parallel-beam specimen illumination over the entire imaging and diffraction range which guarantees for superior image contrast. In-column OMEGA energy filter for excellent elemental analysis (EFTEM, ESI, EELS) and diffraction patterns and superior image quality and signal to noise ratio even under extreme low dose conditions. Truly symmetrical single field condenser objective lens for analytical applications, i.e. EDX measurements.
