Brief descripion

Talos L120C is a "workhorse" TEM, dedicated mainly for life science and teaching applications:

  • entry level imaging TEM and STEM platform
  • easy-to-use instrument and software
  • smooth adaptation of users to high-end (TFS) platforms (i.e. Krios, Talos F200X)
  • high contrast images for polymer, embedded sample
  • training on EPU, Tomo
  • fast screening of grids for cryoEM
