TEM ORIENTATION IMAGING
PHASE MAPPING –ASTAR
ASTAR device uses novel TEM based orientation/phase mapping technique to characterize any material down to 1 nm scale based on collection of precession electron diffraction patterns (PED). In combination with TOPSPIN acquisition of orientation / phase / strain/ STEM maps is possible
TEM STRAIN MAPPING ANALYSIS
Novel Automated Strain Mapping Solution for TEM/STEM (Patent pending) based on nanobeam precession diffraction patterns and STEM reference image acquisition. Precision up to 0.02% (200kV FEG) with spatial resolution < 2 nm (FEG TEM). In combination with TOPSPIN acquisition of orientation /phase /strain /STEM maps is possible.
4D STEM WITH TOPSPIN PLATFORM
Scanned acquisition with Precession electron diffraction . TOPSPIN is a digital STEM, beam Precession Electron Diffraction analytical Experimental framework offering a suite of beam precession imaging and advanced analytical experiments.
3D PRECESSION DIFFRACTION TOMOGRAPHY – MICRO ED
3D diffraction tomography in combination with DigiSTAR and precession diffraction device enable automatic reconstruction of reciprocal space, unit cell determination and crystal structure solution of any material
ANALYSIS OF AMORPHOUS MATERIALS
e-PDF software suite uses Electron Pair Distribution Function (electron diffraction based technique) that allows to analyze local order in amorphous and nanocrystalline materials from diffuse or ring ED patterns.
ELECTRIC-MAGNETIC FIELD MAPPING
4D-SPED acquisition in combination with DigiSTAR and precession diffraction can be applied to characterize local electric or magnetic fields in materials ike transistors, sensors, nanowires, batteries etc. by detecting shift of the intensity distribution of the transmited central electron beam.

NanoMEGAS
NanoMEGAS application meeting at our Brussels location with the friendly participation of our partners from 4MAT ULB and SIMaP INP Grenoble!
Many surprises and innovations are expected in the coming months to make 4D STEM techniques more accessible, powerful and automated, especially with a coupling offer for the new fast hybrid pixel detectors that allow access to more sensitive materials.
Today we are proud not only of the more than 300 installations in various TEMs all over the world but also of the more than 1000 scientific publications in precession diffraction related fields coming from various scientific laboratories.


Date: 2nd September 2025
12:45-13:45 (CET; UTC+1)
Join us for an engaging luncheon seminar that will begin with an introduction to Precession Enhanced Applications in TEM for nanomaterial Studies.
