This trouble has been restored. (As of March 13, 2025)

To all users of the Division of Analytical Electron Microscopy, IMR

As of February 10, 2025, the TEM (JEM-ARM200F (W Corrector)) managed by our division is currently unavailable due to a malfunction.

The left operation panel is malfunctioning, and its operation is unstable. (Since it is operable on the TEM Center screen, it is thought to be a hardware defect in the operation panel rather than a malfunction of the microscope functions.)

The time of restoration is undetermined. (We have already requested repairs from the manufacturer, and we will inform you of the restoration schedule once the parts and engineer are arranged.)

Regarding the planned use of the JEM-ARM200F (W Corrector) during the malfunction period, we will accommodate using the JEM-ARM200F (STEM Corrector), but machine time and the schedules of support staff are expected to be congested, so please secure your schedule early if you plan to use it.

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Please ask if you have any questions.

Division of Analytical Electron Microscopy, IMR, Makoto Nagasako
