Gatan have launched Alto 1000, a concept in cryo-SEM that offers exactly the correct configuration of cryo-system for the user's specific applications and requirements.
No matter whether the requirement is to image specimens that are not vacuum sensitive but would be affected by e-beam heating, or if a user wishes to perform in-depth investigations of hydrated material including assessment of internal microstructure, an appropriate version of the system is available.
The system is the a compact cryo-system and has been specifically designed and engineered to ensure maximum ease of use. Illumination and visibility during sample transfer are optimal and the small volume of the preparation chamber ensures a quick pump-down.
For applications advantages are the rapidly freezing of the specimen outside the preparation chamber a slushing station and vacuum transfer device are available. An ‘impact freezer' is also available as an option. These rapid freezing facilities offer good ultra-structural preservation with reduced ice crystal formation.
