TESCAN CLARA is an Ultra High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscope (UHR-SEM) with a Field Emission Gun electron source that allows users to examine the microstructure, morphology and surface characteristics of biological (and other) samples across research fields. TESCAN CLARA is well suited for a variety of demanding SEM applications such as high resolution and low energy imaging, and volume EM techniques, and is compatible with cryo workflows. It is an ideal tool for busy imaging centers that are looking for an instrument with outstanding imaging performance together with the flexibility to cover a wide range of research tasks. The ability to switch rapidly between different operating modes is important for the productivity of microscopy facilities.
Imaging from overview to the nanoscale – and everything in-between Unique UHR-SEM optics design gives TESCAN CLARA unmatched versatility
Image non-conductive beam-sensitive biological samples at extremely low beam energies Benefit from UHR BrightBeam™ column technology that delivers sharp images even at low voltages
Generate high-contrast images with nanoscale details. The powerful combination of the BrightBeam™ column & detection system allows charge-free topographic imaging design
Extend your SEM to perform Volume SEM analysis Integrated Serial Block-Face SEM (SBF-SEM) in-chamber microtome and Array Tomography software module allow large volume analysis of samples
Perform your experiments at ambient and/or cryogenic temperatures
