Talos F200i Transmission Electron Microscope 

The Thermo Scientific Talos F200i (S)TEM is a 20-200 kV field emission (scanning) transmission electron microscope uniquely designed for performance and productivity across a wide range of Materials Science samples and applications. Its standard X-Twin pole piece gap—giving the highest flexibility in applications—combined with a reproducibly performing electron column opens opportunities for high-resolution 2D and 3D characterization, in situ dynamic observations, and diffraction applications.

Talos F200i Transmission Electron Microscope advantages

Designed for multi-user and multi-discipline environments, the Talos F200i (S)TEM is also ideal for novice users. It is equipped with the Thermo Scientific Velox user interface, which is immediately familiar since it is shared across all Thermo Scientific TEM platforms. All TEM daily tunings have been automated to provide the best and most reproducible setup. The Align Genie automation software eases the learning curve for novice operators, reduces tensions in a multi-user environment, and improves time-to-data for the experienced operator. A side-entry retractable Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) detector can be added to the configuration to enable chemical analysis.

Compact design

The smaller footprint and dimensions of the Talos F200i facilitate accommodation of this tool in more challenging spaces. In addition, this compact design eases access for service needs while also reducing infrastructure and support costs.

Productivity for all users

To further enhance productivity, especially in multi-user, multi-material environments, the constant-power objective lenses, low-hysteresis design, and remote operation with the SmartCam Camera allow for straightforward reproducible mode and high-tension switches. The Talos F200i (S)TEM also features educational online help. Simply pressing F1 with the mouse hovering over a control panel quickly opens relevant information.

Example of high-resolution EDS mapping of AgNi nanoparticles which are effectively used as catalysts for reduction of nitro compounds (for example 4-nitrophenol, 4-nitroaniline) and degradation of organic dyes. The individual EDS maps reveal that system Ag0.6Ni0.4 showed the highest catalytic activity for reduction and degradation reaction of nitro compounds and organic dyes. AgNi nanoparticles are also studied as catalysts for generation of hydrogen. In this use case, the hydrogen generation rate of AgNi nanoparticles was found to be much higher compared to Ag and Ni nanoparticles of similar size. Also a single map reveals that one of the shells is actually Sulphur instead of Nickel.

Example of high-resolution EDS mapping of beam-sensitive material used for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The small nanoparticles (Pt) act as active sites for the photocatalytic reaction. These nanoparticles are studied to observe the structure of Co-g-C3N4 loaded with Pt nanoparticles and find the relationship between the position of Co atoms and Pt nanoparticles to analyze the reason for improved photocatalytic activity of this sample. In this experiment, it was assumed that Co should be atomically dispersed or located with a diameter of less than 1 nm (single atomic dispersion) on the surface of g-C3N4, and that the Pt nanoparticles should be deposited on the surface of Co-g-C3N4. This was confirmed by the results of elemental mapping data. Sample courtesy of Prof. ShengChun Yang, Xi’an Jiaotong University, China.
