For energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) an Oxford windowless X-Max 80TLE detector is installed, which is running Oxford Aztec analysis software. For electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy filtered imaging (EF-TEM), the microscope is equipped with a Gatan Tridiem 865 GIF and a Gatan Ultrascan US1000 CCD (2048x2048 px). The microscope can be used for elemental analysis from regions that are as small as 1 nm and is specifically suited for EDS and EELS mapping (Gatan Digiscan). Specially, monochromated EELS, which is reachable to an energy resolution of 0.15 eV, allows the distribution of surface plasmons in nanostructured materials to be imaged at the nanometer scale and makes possible to determine the valence state of elements (e.g., Fe2+/Fe3+ ratios).</ br> | For energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) an Oxford windowless X-Max 80TLE detector is installed, which is running Oxford Aztec analysis software.

This microscope is also dedicated to magnetic and electrostatic potential imaging since it has a biprism located at a selected-area aperture position and a Lorentz lens. This capability not only offers us to characterize magnetic materials and semiconductor devices but also may make possible to visualize different chemical states in low-density materials such as polymers and biological specimens. <br | This microscope is also dedicated to magnetic and electrostatic potential imaging since it has a biprism located at a selected-area aperture position and a Lorentz lens.
