The Thermo Scientific™ Talos L120C™ TEM is a 20-120 kV transmission electron microscope designed for performance and productivity across a wide range of samples and applications, such as minerals, metals, ceramics, cells, cell organelles, polymers, and any other type of solid materials prepared as thin specimens (<100 nm thickness) or fine nanoparticles both at ambient and cryogenic temperatures.
With its motorized, retractable cryo-box and low-dose technique, the imaging quality of beam-sensitive materials is taken to the next level.  It is an adequate instrument for a wide range of applications and users, ranging from experienced senior researchers to students just entering the field of TEM.

The Talos L120C TEM has been installed in Januarry 2021.
