    New integrated multimodal analytical (S)TEM for advanced materials science research

    Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc introduced the Thermo Scientific™ Iliad™ (Scanning) Transmission Electron Microscope (S)TEM at the European Microscopy Congress 2024 in Copenhagen, Denmark. This groundbreaking multimodal analytical solution provides researchers with unprecedented insights into the chemical nature of advanced materials at the atomic level.

    Utilising Thermo Fisher's legacy of innovation, the Iliad (S)TEM seamlessly integrates multiple technologies into a user-friendly workflow.

    “A platform like this only comes around once in a decade,” said David Wall, Vice President and General Manager of Materials Science at Thermo Fisher Scientific. “Since its unveiling at EMC, Iliad has received enthusiastic responses from researchers and industry leaders worldwide, marking the beginning of a new era in integrated microscopy technology.”

    The Iliad (S)TEM features the new Thermo Fisher Scientific EELS Spectrometer and Energy Filter, along with the NanoPulser, an electrostatic beam blanker that optimises electron dosing. This integration of energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), EELS, and NanoPulser provides precise chemical and structural investigations of a wide range of modern materials.

    Controlled by the Thermo Scientific Velox software ecosystem, Iliad enables even the most challenging experiments to be accessible for every user. Nearly all components can be accessed via Python scripting using Autoscript, allowing advanced control and AI-driven data collection strategies, ensuring reliable workflows.

    Professor Jo Verbeeck, co-leader of Electron Microscopy for Materials Science at the University of Antwerp, collaborated on Iliad’s development with a focus on data quantification. “It’s exciting to see ideas on EELS quantification implemented in a product that enhances user experience and reproducibility,” said Professor Verbeeck.

    With Iliad, Thermo Fisher Scientific is setting a new standard for advanced analytical (S)TEM technology, empowering scientists to tackle critical challenges and contribute to a healthier, cleaner, and safer world.
