Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)


Our TEM services
Due to its high resolution, TEM imaging is ideal for the identification of nanometer- and sub-nanometer-scale features and defects. We offer several variations of the technique:
Cross-sectional TEM with FIB preparation to image cross sections in multilayer thin films, microelectronics stacks, and transistors
TEM-EDX and TEM-EELS for simultaneous imaging and elemental analysis
Cryo-TEM and negative-staining TEM for analyzing sensitive samples, including liposomes and biological matrices
STEM-EDX for high-contrast imaging and elemental mapping
These are just some examples of our capabilities. Please ask our experts for more information on our service range.

Typical technical specifications
Measurlabs offers TEM services with the following technical specifications and sample requirements:
Imaging at spatial resolution down to 0.3 nm
Maximum magnification of over 50 million times
Requires ultrathin samples (< 100 nm thick), typically prepared using focused-ion beam (FIB) preparation or microtomy
Electron-beam energies in the 80–300 keV range enable high beam penetration and contrast for internal structure imaging
Compatible with analytical modes such as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) for simultaneous imaging and elemental/chemical analysis
One partner for all your materials characterization needs
Beyond TEM, we offer a full range of analytical techniques for materials characterization:
SEM, AFM, and C-SAM imaging
Surface elemental composition analysis and depth profiling with techniques such as VPD ICP-MS, XPS, ToF-ERDA, SIMS, and GD-OES.
X-ray techniques for structural analysis, including XRR and GI-XRD
