FEI Tecnai G2 Spirit Twin TEM

The Tecnai G² Spirit TWIN, a 20-120 kV / LaB₆ TEM, is a general-purpose, high-resolution instrument designed with a high-level of automation to meet the stringent demands of life science and material research. It enables the 2D and 3D ultra-structure exploration of biological samples and soft matter, as well as the morphology and function of natural or artificial materials that play a crucial role in modern science and technology. The Spirit produces excellent 2D and 3D images due to special automated and semi-automated functionality.

Low Dose observation of beam-sensitive and cryo samples is a key performance aspect. The microscope has embedded automation that can be used at will for all users. The gun/illumination, focus, and stigmation can be tuned, aligned, saturated and conditioned automatically or manually. Tecnai G2 Spirit TWIN is an ideal microscope for quick sample screen under both ambient and cryogenic conditions.
