Iliad Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope overview

The new, fully integrated, and advanced Thermo Scientific Iliad (S)TEM features the new Iliad EELS Spectrometer and Energy Filter with the dedicated Zebra camera as well as the NanoPulser, our new electrostatic beam blanker. The Iliad Spectrometer and Energy Filter stands out with advanced optics and high stability alongside numerous innovations necessary to offer deep integration with the microscope optics and help enable the best experience for EELS data collection for every type of application. Plus, the advanced integration significantly improves the microscope’s serviceability. EELS data collection is extended with easy-to-use Thermo Scientific Velox Software, which makes even the most challenging experiments accessible to every user, including novices. Nearly every component in the Iliad (S)TEM can be fully accessed via Python scripting using Thermo Scientific Autoscript TEM Software, which makes it possible to create new data collection workflows and use AI-based data collection and processing strategies.

“It’s one thing to write papers on EELS quantification, it is far more exciting to see these ideas also implemented in a product that will really change the user experience and reproducibility of EELS.”
 

— Professor Jo Verbeeck, co-leader of EMAT, University of Antwerp, Belgium

Iliad Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope features

Iliad EELS Spectrometer and Energy Filter

EELS optics face challenges transferring electron energies without distortion. Integrating the microscope, spectrometer, and filter optics ensures consistent performance across settings.

NanoPulser

The electrostatic beam blanker helps optimize the electron dose and run time-resolved experiments.

Velox Software

Cutting-edge Velox Software for transmission electron microscopy offers a comprehensive acquisition and processing ecosystem.

High energy electron resolution sources

The Iliad (S)TEM offers two high-energy-resolution sources: X-FEG/Mono and X-FEG/UltiMono. Both sources can be tuned for optimal energy resolution and operate from 30 ¬– 300 kV, accommodating various experiments.

Cold field emission gun

The Iliad (S)TEM offers the option of the X-CFEG, a high- brightness, low energy spread gun. It enables high-resolution imaging with high probe currents for fast analytics.

Panther STEM detection system

The Panther system reimagines STEM imaging with advanced detectors for enhanced imaging and electron sensitivity.
