JEOL (Europe) BV introduces: Photo Ion-Source for JMS-T200GC AccuTOF GCx

Electron ionization (EI), generally used for GC/MS and GCxGC/MS analysis, produces fragment ions. Fragments are valuable for database search and compound identification. However, fragmentation adds an additional level of complexity in interpreting complex mixtures, such as crude oil. Some compounds (e.g. alkanes, alcohols) do not produce abundant (or any) molecular ions.

Since photoionization (PI) is a softer ionization method than EI, molecular ion can be easily distinguished using this technique. For some analytes, characteristic fragment ions may also be observed. Combining soft ionization with high-resolution exact-mass data and new software tools simplifies processing of complex GC and GCxGC data (e.g. petroleum type analysis).

PI provides clear molecular ions and elemental composition that can be combined with EI data to identify unknowns and also provides selective ionization of target compounds

The JEOL PI source is designed as a PI/EI combination ion source. Switching between PI and EI can be done without breaking vacuum of the ion source, even without breaking any vacuum. Also during an analytical run it is possible to switch between PI/EI and vice versa. The accurate mass will always stay available whatever ionisation technique is used with our JMS-T200GC AccuTOF GCx.

At this moment a PI source is available for our GC-TOF and GC-Quadrupole systems.

New TEM for Naturalis

The Naturalis Biodiversity Center, a research institute and natural history museum in Leiden, has recently acquired the state-of-the-art JEM-1400Plus Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) from JEOL.

 “Thanks to this TEM we are able to study the biodiversity of plants and species in the smallest details.” According to Kees van den Berg, Senior Analyst at Naturalis. “For the acquisition of the new 120kV TEM the JEM-1400Plus from JEOL was selected because of its performance, ease-of-use and proven stability of the system. The excellent service track record of JEOL also played an important role in the evaluation."

"We used to have a JEOL JEM-1010 from 1992. Even though it was still working well, it no longer fit in our new organization structure where digitalization of our collection and data has become a priority. Additionally, the new TEM is also fully compatible with our Windows 7 based network. The JEM-1010 will go to a new owner who will certainly  benefit from the microscope for years to come."

Since the introduction of the JEM-1400 in 2007 and the JEM-1400Plus in 2012, already more than 600 microscopes of this type have been installed worldwide. The strength of this system lies in the flexibility of the system to be able to work in a great variety of research fields, for example: Biological sections, polymers, nanomaterials and asbestos analysis, all in both room temperature and under cryo conditions.

JEM-ARM300F: The Ultimate Atomic Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has long been a tool essential for micro structure evaluation in the field of materials development.
However, as the fine structures of advanced materials are being designed at the nano level or atomic level, the synthetic process for such materials increasingly requires imaging and analysis at higher resolution.

To meet this demand, JEOL has focused on development of a transmission electron microscope incorporating spherical aberration correctors to exceed the current resolution boundary.
In 2009, JEOL announced the JEM-ARM200F, a 200 kV atomic resolution analytical transmission electron microscope featuring spherical aberration correctors, which achieved a resolution of 80 pm (scanning transmission (STEM) image) as the first ever commercial electron microscope.  To achieve the atomic level resolution, the JEM-ARM200F incorporates various capabilities to ensure highly stable operation.  With over 100 units of the ARM200F currently in operation worldwide, many researchers have become familiar with atomic level imaging and analysis.

JEM-ARM300F
Meanwhile, as aberration correctors are widely used, various new requirements for transmission electron microscopy are emerging, in addition to higher resolution, including higher analytical sensitivity, in-situ imaging, flexible accelerating voltage control, and ease of operation for aberration correction.

Thus, JEOL developed the JEM-ARM300F, a 300 kV atomic resolution transmission electron microscope featuring JEOL's own aberration correctors as an enhanced model of the JEM-ARM200F.
Nicknamed GRAND ARM, the JEM-ARM300F, incorporates JEOL's propriety dodecapole correctors, successfully increasing the resolution level to 63 pm (STEM resolution).
The GRAND ARM can be configured for ultra high resolution imaging or analytical applications for high sensitivity and in-situ analysis according to the user's needs.


The system is primarily intended for public and private research institutes and semiconductor manufacturers.
