FEI Tecnai G2 Spirit TWIN

The FEI Tecnai G2 F20 200 kV transmission electron microscope offers an excellent balance between resolution power and image contrast. It can be used to work with biological and polymeric samples both at room temperature and under cryogenic conditions.

Equipment Features

• Accelerating voltage up to 200 kV
• Field‑emission gun
• Twin‑lens system
• Eagle 4K camera
• CompuStage eucentric goniometer
• Maximum eucentric tilt: ± 80°
• Point resolution 0.28 nm
• Line resolution 0.144 nm

Technology Applications

• Imaging of samples at room temperature
• Imaging of beam‑sensitive and cryogenic samples using low‑dose mode
• Automated acquisition of image series for tomography
• Automated image acquisition for single‑particle analysis

Location

The FEI Tecnai G2 F20 TWIN microscope is managed by the Electron Microscopy and Related Techniques Unit and is located on the Diagonal Campus, in the facilities occupied by the CCiTUB within the Science Park of the University of Barcelona.
