DTU Nanolabs Tecnai T12 is a transmission electron microscope (TEM) used for performing both conventional imaging and diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectrosocopy (EDS) and cryo experiments. It is a versatile instrument, ideal for studying a wide range of general and advanced materials, soft matter, composites, etc.

The Tecnai T12 is a transmission electron microscope equipped with a thermionic electron source with a Lab6 filament and acceleration voltages that can vary between 80-120 kV. It has the FEI bio-twin pole piece with a pole piece gap of 11 mm (Cs about 2.2 mm). This gives the microscope a resolution @ 120 kV of above 4 Å in TEM mode. Additionally, it is equipped with permanent cryo plates, which makes it ideal for cryo experiments.

On the analytical side, the microscope is equipped with an Oxford X-Max 80T SDD X-ray detector for Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDS) spectroscopy. For imaging, the microscope is equipped with Gatan Orius SC1000 CCD (4008×2672 px).
