2026 National Conference on Electron Microscopy
October 16–20, 2026 | Nanjing, China
Organized by the Chinese Electron Microscopy Society (CEMS)
The National Academic Annual Meeting on Electron Microscopy brings together researchers, scientists, and engineers from universities, research institutes, and industry. This special edition commemorates the 120th anniversary of Mr. Qian Linzhao, the founder of Chinese electron microscopy. The programme covers a broad range of electron microscopy topics, including advanced TEM, SEM, cryo-EM, in-situ microscopy, FIB, 4D-STEM, and AI-driven analysis, with applications across materials science, life sciences, energy, and information technology.
The conference is expected to welcome approximately 2,000 researchers, scientists, and engineers. Its 16 sessions will explore developments in electron microscopy and their applications across multiple research fields.
Tescan at the Event
Tescan will participate as an exhibitor and speaker, presenting an Integrated Material Characterization Workflow that supports materials research across multiple length scales.
At Booth A10-11 on F2, Tescan will showcase:
- Tescan TENSOR for Efficient, Reliable, and Scalable Materials Characterization.
- Tescan AMBER X 2 Plasma FIB-SEM: Clean, fast, and precise sample preparation, 3D reconstruction, and correlative ToF-SIMS analysis.
- NEW: Tescan CLARA™ UHR-SEM: A field-free UHR SEM for high-contrast imaging of sensitive materials.
- Orage 2 Ga⁺ ion column: Enables up to 40% faster automated TEM preparation.
- Nanospace with ToF-SIMS: An integrated FIB–ToF-SIMS platform for advanced nanoscale characterization.
The technologies presented will also highlight AURA Gentle Ion Beam, integrated high-resolution ToF-SIMS, multimodal analytical capabilities including 3D EBSD and 3D EDS, and 4D-STEM in SEM/FIB-SEM.
