China’s new 0.1-nanometre electron microscope ready to challenge US and Japan

China is ready to commercialise a 200-kilovolt transmission electron microscope with an information resolution down to 0.1 nanometres that could introduce a new challenger into a market long dominated by the US and Japan. Developed by Hefei-based manufacturer CIQTEK, the microscope features a point resolution of 0.25nm and an information limit of 0.1nm – on par with leading workhorse models on the market. This marks a shift for the country’s expanding advanced electron microscopy industry from...
