The Hitachi TM3000 scanning electron microscope features variable accelerating voltage and large stage and chamber. The TM3000 can be used for almost any type of specimen. Even non-conducting specimens or samples containing moisture can be imaged directly, throughout the whole magnification range of x15 to x30,000, without any special sample preparation.

The TM3000 is a real alternative to optical microscopes, stereo microscopes and confocal laser scanning microscopes. It has applications for many sectors.

Our unit includes software for 3D viewing and quantitative measurements.
