Transmission electron microscope Philips CM120

The transmission electron microscope Philips CM120 with equipment for precession of the primary electron beam is configured to make Electron diffraction tomography for the purpose of atomic structure determination of microsamples. The process of data collection in the whole accessible reciprocal space is fully automated. The crystal structures are solved by standard crystallographic solution software (like Superflip) and refined using the dynamical refinement. Small to medium sized structures can be solved for samples stable under electron beam. For the moment, only powder samples can be used. Samples can be cooled down to the LN2 temperatures.
