ユーザーが追加した画像

A tabletop microscope for the next generation of scientific leaders is now available

The TM4000PlusIII/TM4000III is the newest addition to a lineup of microscopes that have sold over 5,800 units worldwide.
Our newest updates bring improvements to users at the forefront of R&D, quality control, and education.

Features of TM4000PlusIII/TM4000III

Reduce Your Workload and Achieve more consistent results

Automated observation of multiple specimens: Recipe Control*1

The TM4000PlusIII recipe function can be used to automatically execute operations, such as stage movement, magnification setting, and image capturing. Once the user builds a recipe, it can be executed to run the tool automatically with no further intervention. This significantly reduces the workload on operators and allows for more consistent results, even from inexperienced users.

Faster automatic particle analysis: High-current function + AZtecLiveLite particle analysis package*

Tasks such as purity analysis of industrial products and particle analysis of filters can be time consuming as data is required from many locations to complete the analysis. The TM4000PlusIII is equipped with a new high-current setting, Mode 5, which provides increased signal for imaging and EDS analysis. In combination with the Oxford Instruments EDS AZtecLiveLite particle analysis package, this helps to increase throughput.

Field-of-view navigation with less noise: High-current function

SEM field-of-view navigation is performed using fast scanning modes, so images tend to be prone to noise. The high-current function allows for easy field-of-view navigation due to its high signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. This takes the stress out of specimen navigation!

Plan Ahead with the Filament Monitoring Function

Maintenance planning: Filament monitoring function

The TM4000PlusIII is equipped with a system that monitors the filament and displays graphics to show the remaining lifetime of the filament. If the equipment is being operated by multiple users, this makes it possible to plan the use of the tool in a systematic way. There is no more need to worry about the filament suddenly running out when the tool is most needed.

Ideal for Educational Purposes

Experience the world of electron microscopy with no preprocessing required:
Low-vacuum function + high-sensitivity backscattered-electron detector

Users can try out electron microscopy with all kinds of specimens: picked flowers, treasured minerals or familiar foods, with no need for metal coating. The low-vacuum function of the TM4000PlusIII/TM4000III reduces preprocessing, and the high-sensitivity backscattered-electron detector (BSED) allows images to be obtained quickly.

Build programming skills with workflow automation functions (TM4000PlusIII)*1

Developing and maintaining digital skills is vital in today’s world. The automation support function allows you to experientially learn important programming concepts such as "sequential execution," "repetition," and "conditional branching" through the operation of the TM4000PlusIII.

Obtaining SE images in low vacuum mode

Innovative secondary-election detector to obtain surface detail with non-conductive samples at lower vacuum conditions

The TM4000PlusIII can observe not only conductive samples, but also non-conductive or hydrated samples without sample preparation. Switching between BSE and SE can be performed easily.

High-sensitivity Low-vacuum SE Detector (UVD)

Hitachi's UVD generates secondary-electron images by detecting visible light excited by electron gas interactions.
