The current development programme comprises two High-End Energy Filtering Transmission Electron Microscopes, aiming to reach the limits that are physically-technically feasible. The two instruments are individual development projects for 2 renowned German Research laboratories, funding is provided by German Research Society and Max-Planck-Society. The required performance parameters for the SESAM (Sub-Electronvolt-Sub-Ångstrom-Microscope) and the
UHRTEM ( Ultra High Resolution TEM) has attained worldwide attention inside the TEM community, because applications formerly out of reach have now become approachable. The UHRTEM has achieved a record milestone resolution of 0.8 angstrom in February 2005.

The extraordinary sophisticated specifications triggered substantial innovation and developments of new EFTEM technology. The new Field Emission Emitter (FEG) and the corrected 90° OMEGA Filter consequently are now integrated into the innovative LIBRA® 200kV- series.
