Correlative Microscopy for Material Analysis by Carl Zeiss

The new "Shuttle & Find" solution from Carl Zeiss is a correlative interface for light (LM) and electron (EM) microscopes for use in materials analysis. It consists of specially designed sample holders, adapter and AxioVision based correlative software modules.

The chosen point or region of interest (ROI) in the LM can easily be relocated at a much higher resolution in the EM by means of automated calibration and work routines. LM images can then be precisely extended by their morphological background and/or material distribution, e.g. with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
