As a fully equipped analytical electron microscope the CM 20 is used in a wide area of tasks such as chemical analyses (EDXS, EFTEM/EELS) as well as classic electron microscopical methods (Bright Field, Dark Field, Selective Area Electron Diffraction, Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction). A Digiscan II control unit also allows using the analytical tools in STEM mode (Spectrum imaging).
The microscope is used for a wide range of both academic and commercial research tasks including work on steel, ceramics, alloys, biological samples, inorganic and organic semiconductor devices, powders, single crystals, polymers and hard metal.
