Hitachi HF 5000 Environmental S/TEM

HF5000 is a field-emission transmission electron microscope (TEM), equipped with a cold field-emission electron gun (CFEG)—with an accelerating voltage of 200 kV—that is designed to achieve high spatial resolution while offering sample tilting and advanced analytical capabilities,  three STEM detectors: a bright-field STEM (BF-STEM) detector and an annular dark-field STEM (DF-STEM) detector, both mounted below the sample, and an Everhart-Thornley (E-T) secondary-electron (SE) detector mounted on the upper side of the sample above the objective lens. All three signals may be recorded and saved simultaneously, both as static images or as movies.
