The firstCarl ZeissAuriga Crossbeam电子/离子显微镜今天在慕尼黑的Ludwig-Maximilians大学（LMU）正式投入使用。该系统对全球有很大的兴趣，仅在四个月前引入。已经下达了许多订单；演示系统提前几周保留。
Auriga将高分辨率电子显微镜与离子束相结合，该束可以在样品中进行精确的切口，从而可以访问标本表面以下的结构。除了在纳米尺度上进行样品成像外，各种各样的探测器还允许对样品进行化学物理分析。
Professor Gerhard Wanner, head of the ultra-structure research work group at the university is extremely happy to use the instrument: "A major field in the Biocenter will be the 3D reconstruction of tissues, cells and their sub-structures. The versatility of this system offers a series of completely new examination possibilities which we hope will lead to important insights into ultra-structural and functional interrelationships."
要求s for the AURIGA system have been received from institutes and industry around the world: "The flexibility and versatility of the system are obviously key factors contributing to this interest. Bio/life science, materials research, the semiconductor industry, solar cell research - we are receiving request from practically all important fields of application," explains Product Manager Dr. Daniel Kraft.
