Talos F200X Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope

The Talos F200X (S)TEM is available with high-brightness X-FEG or the ultra-high-brightness cold field emission gun (X-CFEG), delivering exceptional probe brightness and outstanding energy resolution. The X-CFEG combines state-of-the-art (S)TEM imaging performance with outstanding energy resolution, enabling highly sensitive analytical measurements and advanced spectroscopy. This flexibility allows users to optimize the instrument for demanding high-resolution imaging, quantitative EDS, and correlative analytical workflows.

Thermo Scientific Velox Software provides a powerful yet intuitive platform for fast, efficient acquisition and analysis of multimodal (S)TEM data. Its streamlined user interface enables users to seamlessly combine imaging, spectroscopy, and analytical workflows within a single environment. Automated routines and guided workflows help ensure consistent results, reduce setup time, and improve productivity across both expert and multi-user laboratories.

Reveal nanoscale chemical composition with speed and confidence. The four in-column Super-X SDD EDS Detectors offer rapid, precise quantitative chemical mapping with exceptional cleanliness, allowing users to acquire high-quality 2D and 3D compositional data with excellent signal-to-noise performance. Advanced detector integration and optimized system geometry support high count rates as well as accurate elemental mapping and tomography, accelerating insight while maintaining analytical precision.

High-throughput STEM imaging with simultaneous, multi-signal detection delivers improved contrast and enhanced image quality. Advanced EDS and EELS capabilities enable high-speed analysis of elemental distribution and concentration, including chemical bonding information, for both heavy and light elements. By capturing multiple detector signals in parallel, the Talos F200X (S)TEM provides richer structural and compositional information in a single acquisition, supporting advanced materials characterization and high-confidence data interpretation.

The Talos F200X (S)TEM is designed with flexibility in mind, offering ample space to integrate application-specific in situ sample holders. This enables dynamic experiments, such as heating, biasing, or environmental studies, allowing researchers to observe structural and chemical changes in real time without compromising imaging or analytical performance.

Acquire high-quality TEM and STEM images using the innovative and intuitive Velox Software interface. The Talos F200X (S)TEM benefits from EDS absorption correction within Velox Software, enabling highly accurate elemental quantification, even for complex or thick samples. This helps to deliver reliable, reproducible analytical results across a wide range of materials and experimental conditions.

All essential daily TEM alignments and tunings—including focus, eucentric height, beam shift, condenser aperture, beam tilt pivot points, and rotation center—are fully automated. This helps every session begin from optimal imaging conditions, enabling experiments to be repeated with high reproducibility. Researchers can focus on scientific discovery rather than routine instrument setup.

The Talos F200X (S)TEM features an ultra-stable electron column, remote operation via the SmartCam Camera, and constant-power objective lenses that support rapid mode switching and fast high-tension (HT) changes. These capabilities enable smooth transitions between imaging and analytical modes, helping to maximize uptime and productivity—especially in high-throughput and multi-user environments.
