Planar Surface Preparation for SEM

Gatan has introduced the Ilion+, a significant advance in the preparation of large planar cross sections for microscopic imaging and microanalysis. The Ilion+ is a dedicated, ion beam based system for the preparation of large area planar cross sections from challenging SEM samples. The product uses a proprietary milling system that exposes significantly greater areas than traditional FIB milling while encompassing a wider range of delicate samples not compatible with mechanical polishing and other techniques. more

Cryo-SEM Systems

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. more

3D Microscopy at EM Resolution

Gatan’s 3View system uses a high precision ultra-microtome operating in situ within a variable pressure, FE SEM, and allows automated acquisition of 3D ultrastructure by sequentially imaging the freshly cut, resin embedded block face. Due to serial imaging of the block face there is excellent registration between all images within an image stack. This allows simple exporting of the image files for 3-D rendering, without the need for tedious post-processing. more
