New Product Launch Leads Largest Ever Instrument Showing By Hitachi

Microscience 2006 sees the largest ever showing of electron microscopes by Hitachi at a UK show.

Pride of place is taken by the launch of, and the first chance to see, a brand new variable pressure analytical scanning electron microscope. This new instrument offers enormous versatility with a new analytical chamber and simultaneous mounting of a host of different detectors.

Also on show for the first time at a UK exhibition will be the high-sensitivity H-7650 biological TEM and the recently launched TM-1000 tabletop microscope. The H-7650 features a unique double gap objective lens, giving a wide field of view at low magnification and offers high contrast and high resolution imaging modes. The H-7650 also features a fully integrated camera with bottom or side-mounting options.

The TM-1000 bridges the gap between optical microscopy and electron microscopes. This novel instrument gives a performance far in excess of an ordinary optical microscope, requires no special sample preparation for hydrated, oily or non-conducting samples, and is as easy to use as a digital camera.

Away from the Hitachi stand, the S-4800 FESEM will be located in the Exhibition’s digital microscopy learning zone and S-3400 VPSEMs can be found on the Oxford Instruments stand (F4) and the Bruker – AXS stand (F5), where they will be fully equipped with EDX analysis facilities.
