Development of the H-7600 and Some Initial Applications using the Auto-Focus Function (H-7600 TEM 108)

From Hitachi High Technologies America, Inc.
 

 
The H-7600 is a new PC controlled transmission electron microscope using Windows and a new TV camera system. We have incorporated maximum user-friendliness taking advantage of the PC control and the TV camera allowing automated focusing for TEM. We report on general features of the H-7600 and some initial applications using the automated focusing feature. The H-7600 is composed of TEM column, CCD camera and TV camera system including an image processing unit and a control PC. See Fig 1 for a general view of the instrument. Table 1 shows specifications brief. Fig 2 shows a monitor screen image and some of the operating parameters of the microscope. The monitor display is based on Windows so that it allows user-friendly operation for the microscope even for inexperienced operators. The monitor screen keeps the specimen position displayed at all times. The design allows operators to understand the viewing positions on their specimen grid and facilitates the specimen survey coupled with a micro-trace function.

Products & Services
Microscope stages are platforms where specimens are placed for observation with a microscope. They are often equipped with a mechanical device which holds the specimen slide in place, but allows the back-and-forth and side-to-side movement of the slide.
