Instrumentation

Electron Microscopes

The microscopes are housed in specially built environmentally stabilized rooms that are temperature and humidity-controlled. Our Krios instruments are also isolated from vibrations or other disturbances commonly found in the city with anti-vibration tables and additionally fitted with Electro-Magnetic isolation systems.
