In the field of biological and materials sciences, the importance of energy filter transmission electron microscope(EF-TEM) is increasing. Because it is a powerful instrument for contrast enhancement and obtaining elemental mapping images. We have developed a 200kV EF-TEM equipped with a fieldemission gun and in-column spectrometer. The new EF-TEM JEM-2010FEF inherits the performance in high resolution imaging and analysis from field emission TEM. The outer view is shown in Fig.l.Figure 2 shows the lens configuration of JEM-2010FEF. An in-column Q-type spectrometer is introduced within the imaging lens system. It was designed to have image distortion less than 1% and dispersion power 1.2p.m/eV for 200keV electrons. There is no need of compensating procedure of distortion. Imaging lens system consists of two objective lenses, three intermediate lenses and three projector lenses. The 8-stage imaging lens system enables wide range of imaging modes equal to conventional TEMs; energy spectroscopic image of magnification from ×200 to × 1,500,000, energy spectroscopic diffraction of camera length from 200mm to 2,000mm.

A New High Excitation Objective Lens (Second-Zone Objective Lens) was discussed at Twenty-Sixth Annual EMSA Meeting. A new commercially available Transmission Electron Microscope incorporating this new lens has been completed.Major advantages of the new instrument allow an extremely small beam to be produced on the specimen plane which minimizes specimen beam damages, reduces contamination and drift.


The collagen fibril diameter distribution of four immature tissues from both rat and sheep have been determined from transverse sections observed in the transmission electron microscope. In many instances before birth, the form of the distribution for the tissues is both unimodal and sharp and the mean diameters of the distributions lie close to a multiple of 80 Å. For some tissues, the collagen fibril diameter distributions may be resolved into a number of components, each of which represents a population of fibrils with a diameter close to a multiple of 80 Å (8 nm). These data confirm and extend previous observations by the authors that small collagen fibrils all have diameters that are multiples of about 80 Å and that the fibril growth occurs by the accretion of 80 Å units. The form of the collagen fibril diameter distribution at birth is broad for the sheep tissues but narrow for the rat tissues, thus confirming that the range of fibril diameters at this stage of life reflects the differing degree of development of precocious and altricious animals.
