TEM - FEI Talos 120 (Irchel)

The FEI Talos 120 is a 120 kV transmission electron microscope equipped with one digital CMOS camera BM-Ceta for image acquisition.

Additional we have the MAPS software 

MAPS is a modular software application for automated acquisition of high resolution images from large areas. (Navigate, Tile, Stitch, Correlate and Analyse Data)

MAPS allows you to:

• Acquire high resolution images over large areas
• Easily find regions of interest
• Acquire images from a sample with different settings
• Automate the image acquisition process (unattended operation)
• Correlate data from different sources

There is a free Offline MAPS Viewer on fei.com/software/maps/ and on our virtual machines (VM). 

University Zurich, Irchel Campus, Room Y42-F-54.
