Gemini II 450

In addition to routine topography SEM applications, the ZEISS Gemini II 450 is optimised for array tomography workflows.

In array tomography the sample is sectioned, corresponding regions in serial sections are imaged and subsequently reconstructed into a 3D volume. Zeiss Atlas 5 software allows automated acquisition of multiple regions of interest, for example in serial sections, while the Zeiss ZEN software with Correlative Array Tomography (CAT) module facilitates light-EM in-volume correlation. Operation in variable pressure is possible.
