Talos 2 is the same (S)TEM model as Talos 1 with additional capabilities. Fitted with a Scanning Precession Diffraction (SPED) system (NanoMegas Topsin) and hybrid pixel direct electron detector (Quantum Detectors MerlinEM), Talos 2 is capable of various scanning diffraction techniques (4D-STEM, SPED, MicroED, Ptychography). With segmented STEM detectors (Panther STEM), Talos 2 is also capable of differential phase contrast (DPC) imaging.
The combination of the excellent STEM-EDS performance of the Talos with SPED and other diffraction techniques give Talos 2 the unique characterisation capability for both structural and compositional analysis.
