Huangpu launches TH-F120, China's pioneer commercial electron microscope

On Jan 20, Huangpu district in Guangzhou developed China's first domestically produced commercial transmission electron microscope, "TH-F120".

Led by the Guangzhou International Bio Island Laboratory, this research initiative has ended the complete reliance on imported transmission electron microscopes in the country, marking a significant breakthrough in the core technology of transmission electron microscopes — the manufacture of electron guns. It also signifies China's capability to mass-produce these complex instruments.

Transmission electron microscope technology is known for its high industry monopoly and technical barriers globally. The successful development of TH-F120 breaks this monopoly and represents a significant advancement for China in high-end scientific instruments. 

The microscope features a self-developed high-brightness field emission electron gun and electromagnetic lens system, offering enhanced image brightness, stability, and resolution.

Additionally, TH-F120 is equipped with a self-developed high-pixel CMOS camera, capable of revealing rich sample details even at low electron doses. Its high stability, low ripple high-voltage power supply, and automatic high-voltage control system ensure the stable emission of the electron gun.

This technological breakthrough is poised to significantly boost China's high-quality development in cutting-edge scientific and industrial fields such as materials science, life sciences, and the semiconductor industry.
