A Microscope That's As Easy To Use As A Digital Camera

The TM-1000 Tabletop Microscope brings a completely new approach to microscopy. This novel instrument gives a performance far in excess of an ordinary optical microscope, requires no special sample preparation for hydrated, oily or non-conducting samples, and is as easy to use as a digital camera.

Key benefits compared to optical microscopes:

  • Higher magnification range (up to 10,000X compared to around 1000X) allows more detailed investigations
  • Better resolution (30 nm compared to around 0.1 micron) gives sharper, clearer images containing much more detail
  • Improved depth of field (approximately 0.5 mm compared to 2-3 microns) means that more of the sample is in focus allowing surface morphology to be seen in stereoscopic detail
  • Image contains compositional information. The detector used in the TM-1000 can show contrast due to different average atomic numbers of materials in the specimen
  • Simple to use. Autofocus, auto-brightness and auto-contrast make it a “see & shoot” system
  • Digital imaging. All images saved on the computer for easy access
  • Built-in measurement function allows dimensional information to be acquired quickly and easily

Wide range of applications

The TM-1000 can be used anywhere an optical microscope might previously have been required:

  • Life sciences
  • Food
  • Cosmetics
  • Healthcare
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Textiles
  • Materials science
  • Semiconductor
  • Education

Now available with chemical analysis capabilities

A new accessory for the TM-1000 now extends its capability, allowing analysis of the elements present in the area being imaged. The addition of the SwiftED Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer makes the TM-1000 even more versatile.
