MAIN ADVANCED EQUIPMENT
I²TEM : Interferometry & In situ Transmission Electron Microscope -
Specially designed HF3300 (from Hitachi High Technology)
Specific Sample Holders for in-situ experiments, High resolution CCD
Camera and Energy Spectrometer have been funded by the MIMETIS project
I2TEM is a 300 kV cold FEG microscope specially designed to perform Electron Holography and in-situ experiments. It is equipped with a spherical aberration corrector ("Aplanator" B-corr from CEOS) and with the latest generation of energy filter GIF Quantum ER-965. Four rotatable electrostatic biprisms allow performing advanced electron holography and interferometry experiments.
A fast OneView 4K x 4K camera (Gatan) for in-situ TEM experiments

Cet equipement a été acquis avec le soutien du Conseil Régional Midi-Pyrénées, des fonds FEDER, du MESR et du CNRS
Helios Dual Beam :
Dual (Ion and Electron) beam - (from FEI Company)
This instrument has been entirely funded by the MIMETIS project
A dual beam microscope is the unavoidable tool for nanomanipulation and imaging at the nanoscale. Its main objective in the project is to produce high quality TEM sample. Nevertheless the combination of image with electrons and milling or deposit with ions render such an instrument a standalone tool for in situ analysis.
Main characteristics of the machine installed in CEMES are :
