AMETEK Gatan, Inc., Pleasanton, Calif., a global leader focused on enhancing and extending the operation and productivity of electron microscopes, launched Monarc Pro T system that reveals structural, optical, and electric properties of materials at the nanosale by enabling optically-coupled experiments in transmission electron microscopes (TEM).
Monarc Pro T supports cathodoluminescence (CL) specimen analysis within the TEM. Using a proprietary optical design for outstanding light collection, Monarc Pro T delivers the sharpest CL images and spectra for electron microscopy. This technology also facilitates the investigation of photoactivated catalytic reactions permitting in-situ illumination of a sample across a wide range of wavelengths in almost any TEM.
“For many years, researchers have been unable to probe the active areas of many photonic devices due to the lack of a characterization technique that reveals optical properties at a spatial resolution smaller than the feature size,” says Dr. David Stowe, senior product manager, Gatan. “By integrating a fiber-coupled optical system into a cryogenic TEM holder, we provide 10 – 100x better spatial resolution that enables researchers to understand optical properties of the quantum world directly.”
“While Gatan technologies, such as the K3 IS camera, have been key in driving the expansion of in-situ analysis, we now extend our reach by adding the ability to convert any TEM into an optically-coupled microscope to allow researchers to view the phase change of a specimen in real-time under illumination,” commented Narayan Vishwanathan, vice president and business unit manager of AMETEK Electron Microscopy Technologies. “Expanding researcher’s capabilities for in-situ analysis capabilities cements Gatan’s place at the forefront of in-situ microscopy and expands the addressed market to include photoactivated catalysis.”
