ClairScope Atmospheric Pressure Scanning Electron Microscope
DISCONTINUED
ClairScope is an instrument to observe specimens by using an Atmospheric Scanning Electron Microscope (ASEM) and an optical microscope. Since specimen remains at atmospheric pressure or in a solution during observation, the original and natural state can be captured.
Features
Native state (liquid) observation
ASEM imaging of specimens still steeped in liquid is possible, enabling imaging of biological materials without the need for skillful pre-treatment, such as dehydration/ desiccation, which also greatly decreases the preparation time
Concurrent imaging with an optical microscope
The Clairscope combines both an optical microscope and ASEM in one instrument. After observation with the optical microscope, ASEM imaging at the same location is possible with a click of the mouse.
Dynamic observation
Since the specimen chamber is open, it is possible to perform evaporation or introduce a reagent from outside. The reactions after instillation of a reagent or accompanying the evaporation can be observed with the ASEM in real-time.
