About the NeoARM:
Since its introduction, the JEOL ARM (Atomic Resolution Microscope) TEM/STEM line has become the chosen platform for atomic resolution imaging/analytical research. The ARM product line is at the leading edge of research in the spherical aberration corrected class of instruments.
In response to the increased need for high-resolution imaging of materials, containing light elements, and of specimens susceptible to electron-beam damage, JEOL has developed the 200kV NEOARM Atomic Resolution Imaging & Analytical Electron Microscope. The NEOARM is designed with user accessibility in mind; with an intuitive interface and streamline workflow, the NEOARM is an ideal choice not only for experienced researchers but also for graduate students and novice users entering the field of electron microscopy. This ease-of-use allows new users to quickly become proficient and productive, without compromising on the instrument’s advanced capabilities.
The NEOARM excels at atomic-resolution imaging for a wide range of accelerating voltages ranging from 30 kV to 200 kV. The NEOARM features a unique cold field emission gun (Cold-FEG) as well as a next generation advanced Cs corrector (ASCOR) that compensates for higher order aberrations.
