  1. Intermediate and High Voltage Microscopy Chapter 16

  2. The greater the accelerating voltage the shorter the l Therefore, a 50,000 volt (50 kV) electron has a wavelength of 0.0055nm and a 1MeV electron has a wavelength of 0.00123nm!

  3. A million volt (MeV) TEM must maintain an accelerating voltage that is stable to within 0.5 volts.

  4. A million volt (MeV) TEM must maintain an accelerating voltage that is stable to within 0.5 volts. With this coupled with a field emission source one can achieve resolutions that are in the range of 0.5Å

  5. Hitachi 3 MeV is the most powerful TEM ever made

  6. Hitachi 3 MeV is the most powerful TEM ever made Operator

  7. It requires its own separate building Operator

  8. Advantages of High Voltage EM Increased Resolution:Although still a long way from a theoretical resolution of 0.0006 nm. the best actual resolution has been achieved with a 1 MeV field emission TEM. Nanocrystalline structure of silicon

  9. Advantages of High Voltage EM Increased Resolution:Although still a long way from a theoretical resolution of 0.0006 nm. the best actual resolution has been achieved with a 1 MeV field emission TEM. 1 MeV 200 kV 100kV

  10. Advantages of High Voltage EM Increased Specimen Penetration: As accelerating voltage increases the ability of the beam to penetrate also increases.

  11. Advantages of High Voltage EM Increased Depth of Information: The great depth of information allows an entire thick section to be viewed at once. Dendrite in 3 mm thick section

  12. Advantages of High Voltage EM Increased Depth of Information: It also allows for stereo pairs to be created from thick sections. Mitotic cell stereo pair

  13. Advantages of High Voltage EM Reduced Beam Damage: The increased speed of the electrons actually decreases the likelihood of an inelastic collision. The same section viewed with 1 MeV vs. 100 kV will have less contrast due to fewer scattered electrons

  14. The Boulder Laboratory for 3-Dimensional Electron Microscopy of Cells is located at the University of Colorado. It is a National Resource Center supported by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

  17. Korea Basic Science Institutehttp://www.kbsi.re.kr/ JEM ARM-1300S “Morning Star” Ultra-High Voltage TEM Facility Under construction (2002.3)

  18. Functions of ‘Morning Star’ • Atomic resolution: better than 0.12nm • High-angle tilting : 60 degree (a new function for 3-D structure analysis of materials in atomic level) • Attachment of a new energy filtering system (functions for contrast enhancement, chemical analysis and electron structure analysis) • Availability of various specimen holders for in situ study (capable of temperature variations from liquid He to 1500oC, as well as strain variations) • Remote control operation (providing user-friendly system through remote operation, automatic alignment, and so on)

  19. Remote control system : FasTEM

  20. U.S. HVEMs that have either shut down or are underutilized University of Wisconsin – Madison Wadsworth Center – Albany, New York SUNY – Stony Brook, New York

  21. Intermediate Voltage (200-400 kV) JEOL JEM-4000FX Hitachi H-9000NAR

  22. ESI allows an independent way to eliminate scattered electrons from thick sections and when combined with an intermediate voltage scope often negates the need for a HVEM
