Carl Zeiss SMT Webinar: ATLAS-Large Area Imaging for Unrivaled Productivity, 22 June 2010

This webinar discussed how to achieve images of large-area samples with nanometer resolution by using the new ATLAS TM system from Carl Zeiss. The working principles and technology of ATLAS TM were presented.

The effectiveness of ATLAS TM was illustrated by the results of John Mendenhall, Center for Learning and Memory, University of Texas at Austin. Overview images, image mosaics, and high resolution images of rat hippocampus taken with ATLAS TM as implemented on a SUPRA 40 FE - SEM were presented and discussed along with applications to volume reconstruction through automation of image acquisition on serial ultrasections.

 

Speakers:

Michael Rauscher, Carl Zeiss SMT- Nano Technology Systems
John Mendenhall, Center for Learning and Memory, University of Texas at Austin

 

 

STEM-in-SEM image of rat hippocampus acquired on a ZEISS SUPRA® 40 SEM equipped with ATLAS. The image shows a low magnification overview of a single mosaic site consisting of 6 x 2 tiles, each 49 ìm x 49 ìm, acquired using the GEMINI® STEM detection system in a SUPRA® FE-SEM. Each image tile was acquired at 2 nm per pixel.
