Is the LVEM5 an electron microscope or a light
In reality the LVEM5 is both.The unique design of the LVEM5 combines the resolving power of electron optics (2 nanometers) and the magnifying power of light optics. The...

Is the LVEM5 really an electron microscope?
Yes. The LVEM5 is a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) which can be optionally equipped with detectors that add Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and STEM (Scanning...

Who else makes a benchtop TEM?
Again, no one. The convenience, practicality and affordability of the LVEM5 is unique to the Delong design. We welcome you to search for a competitive alternative, but...

Can you give some examples of specimen types that have been successfully imaged with the LVEM5?
Practically every sample type that is imaged by classical TEM can be imaged by LVEM, often with better results. Only heavy elements (metals) and those that cannot be...

What are the distinguishing factors of the LVEM5?
There are many notable features of the LVEM5 that differentiate it from standard electron microscopes. The benchtop footprint is – by far – the smallest...

Does one have to acquire all modes, TEM and SEM and STEM?
No. The LVEM5 is at its core a TEM so TEM alone is the base model. SEM and/or STEM can be optionally added depending on your research goals. For detailed ultrastructure...

Who else makes a 5 kV TEM?
No one. The LVEM5 is the only TEM that is designed to perform optimally at this accelerating voltage level.

How complicated is the LVEM5 to operate?
Like all sophisticated, high tech equipment the LVEM5 requires proper training. That being said, the actual operations of the system are intuitive and basic. The user...

What is the benefit of the system for life science researchers?
Aside from the common advantage that all LEVEM5 users share – namely a local EM with an affordable initial costs and operating costs – for life scientists, the...

Is the LVEM5 suitable to use as a teaching tool?
Yes. The system is both functionally versatile, introducing students to the basics of TEM, SEM and STEM and versatile enough to allow for hands-on experience with an...
