Financing for developing novel microscope

from the tools-for-nanoscale-quality-control dept.
Gina Miller writes "Imago Scientific Instruments has secured $7 million in financing for development of its innovative LEAP microscope, which provides information about the atomic-scale features of materials that was previously very difficult or impossible to obtain. The LEAP microscope achieves 0.5 nm resolution in three dimensions and 'can collect data 1,000 times faster than previous atom probe designs, enabling use of the instrument for process monitoring.'"
