What it is

The JEOL JEM 1011 is a transmission electron microscope manufactured by JEOL. The JEOL JEM 1011 served as the base platform for the science lab microscope featured in the film Prometheus.[2][1]

How it works

A JEM-1011 was used to visualize ultrathin cell slices in one reported study. A JEM-1011 was operated at an accelerating voltage of 80 kV in that study.[3]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Transmission electron microscopes are used after specimen preparation rather than as inline production tools. Transmission electron microscopes typically receive cross sections, particles, films, interfaces, or biological sections that have already been extracted, fixed, thinned, stained, or otherwise prepared for beam transmission.

In inspection and failure analysis workflows, transmission electron microscopes are commonly used after a question has already been narrowed by broader screening or metrology steps. Transmission electron microscopes then provide high-detail structural evidence that can guide interpretation of defects, interfaces, contamination, or microstructural changes.

Applications

A Jeol JEM-1011 electron microscope was used to examine sections in a study of rectal adenocarcinoma ultrastructure. A JEM-1011 was also used to visualize ultrathin cell slices in a study of the biofilm matrix ultrastructure of Bacillus subtilis.[4][3]
