FEI Tecnai Osiris (Scanning) Transmission Electron Microscope
The Tecnai OsirisTM is a fully digital 200 kV S/TEM system, designed to deliver revolutionary analytical performance and outstanding quality in TEM and STEM imaging. Tecnai Osiris introduces for the first time the unique ChemiSTEMTM technology which combines technical advances in beam generation with disruptive changes in EDX signal detection. ChemiSTEM comprises the proprietary X-FEG high brightness electron source and Super-X, FEI’s new EDX detection system based on Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) technology, and achieves a factor of more than 50 enhancement in acquisition speed of EDX chemical mappings. With ChemiSTEM the collection time for elemental maps in fast mapping mode can be reduced from hours to minutes or from minutes to seconds, compared to standard solutions. This gain in speed can also be used to collect EDX elemental mappings from larger field-of-view in similar times, compared to standard solutions.
Core system technical highlights:
- Fully digital 200 kV TEM and STEM system including the HAADF detector
- X-FEG high brightness Schottky FEG provides beam currents in the range of Cold FEG and improves spatial resolution in analytics due to smaller convergence angles
- Super-X windowless EDX detector system with SDD technology significantly increases the detection efficiency and the sensitivity for low-energy EDX counts and clears the way for really fast EDX data collection and large field of view elemental mapping
- SmartCam digital search-and-view camera improves the handling of all applications of the Tecnai Osiris and prepares it for remote operation
- Large combined dewar for Super-X and cold trap (about 4-day cooling capacity) frees the user from daily liquid nitrogen refills and cryo-cycles
- Workstation including 2x 24" widescreen LCD monitors and table improves the operator comfort and allows relaxed working in an ergonomic environment
- Double-tilt, high-visibility low-background specimen holder maximizes the collection efficiency in combination with the Super-X EDX detector system
- Automatic aperture system in combination with the SmartCam prepares the instrument for remote operation
- Oil-free vacuum system ensures that contamination from any pumping oil is eliminated
