Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) have evolved throughout the years to offer ever greater resolution and magnification capabilities. However, for an instrument to work at its best, all external interferences that can affect the position of the electron beam – such as vibrations and stray magnetic fields – need to be removed. Researchers at Cataler Corporation have turned to Spicer Consulting to help them to optimise their equipment for investigations into non-homogeneous catalysts...
