Tescan Showcases Integrated Workflows for Advanced Materials Research
Thursday, 18 September 2025
Columbus, OH / Brno, Czech Republic, September 2025 – From September 30 to October 1, 2025, Tescan will take part in The Advanced Materials Show in Columbus, Ohio. This is Tescan’s first major U.S. trade show appearance since introducing its new global brand identity, signalling a shift from standalone tools to connected, outcome-driven solutions.
The company builds on over 30 years of engineering precision to redefine its role in materials science. No longer just an instrument maker, Tescan now acts as a workflow partner. Visitors to booth 608 can speak with experts about use cases in TEM/STEM prep, prototyping, and high-throughput analysis.
“Discovery today is not just about what the tools can do, but how they fit into the way people work,” says Jean-Charles Chen, CEO of Tescan Group. “We are focused on removing friction and delivering value across the entire workflow, from question to result.”
New FIB-SEM Platforms Built for Practical Outcomes
Tescan’s latest platforms are tailored for modern materials characterization:
TESCAN AMBER 2, the latest evolution of the gallium FIB-SEM, offers fully automated TEM/STEM sample prep, AI-assisted workflows, and overnight operation.

TESCAN AMBER X 2, a new plasma FIB-SEM, delivers combination of high-throughput milling with advanced precision of ion beam spot properties for applications as TEM sample preparation.

Both systems can be paired with AURA Gentle Ion Beam, co-developed with Technoorg Linda, to minimize amorphization damage and preserve material’s or sample’s crystalline structure for high-resolution STEM/TEM imaging.

Scaling the Workflow with EXLO and Automation Software

Tescan now also provides EXLO, a standalone micromanipulation system for high-throughput TEM specimen handling outside the FIB-SEM. With integrated microscope and semi-automated nanomanipulators, EXLO speeds up lift-out and keeps FIB-SEMs focused on milling tasks.
“EXLO lets labs scale up specimen transfer without investing in another FIB-SEM,” says Dr. Lucille A. Giannuzzi, Business Development Manager at Tescan. “It’s intuitive, flexible, and ideal for high-throughput workflows.”
Tescan is also introducing two automation modules:
AutoSection, an in-system tool for automated precision cross-sectioning, enables automated endpointing suited for failure analysis and packaging inspection.

TEM AutoPrep Pro™ enables unattended, overnight preparation of TEM samples series and newly automated lift-out of planar or inverted TEM samples.

Built for Discovery and Beyond
Tescan’s rebranding marks more than a new look. It reflects a commitment to seamless integration, faster onboarding, and outcome-focused solutions.
“We’ve always been committed to science. Now we’re even better positioned to serve it, with technology, empathy, and purpose,” says Jean-Charles Chen. “We’re not just accelerating discovery. We’re accelerating what it means to be TESCAN in this new era.”
About Tescan Group
Tescan builds advanced imaging systems that help scientists and engineers explore the micro and nano worlds. In doing so, we help turn observation into insight and questions into progress.
Established by a small team of five engineers in 1991, Tescan has grown into a global company with over 800 employees in 11 countries, united by a brand platform to Accelerate the Art of Discovery. Now Tescan technologies play a central role in laboratories around the world, supporting materials research, failure analysis, and
nanoscale imaging with nearly 4,500 systems installed in over 80 countries.
In 2025, Tescan Group’s commitment to advancing discovery-driven solutions was recognized with a R&D 100 Award in the Analytical/Test category for the TESCAN AMBER X 2, powered by the Mistral™ plasma FIB column.
In 2024, Tescan Group expanded its technological depth and global footprint. The acquisition of EXpressLO LLC, along with its patent portfolio, added new capabilities in precision stage control and sample handling. That same year, the Group expanded its presence in Asia with the acquisition of TESCAN KOREA Co., Ltd. and DML Co., Ltd. New subsidiaries in Taiwan and Singapore followed, strengthening our commitment to serving scientists where discovery happens.
Since 2013, Tescan Group has expanded its expertise through a series of acquisitions that have sharpened its technological edge. The merger with ORSAY PHYSICS brought advanced focused ion and electron beam technologies into the Group. In 2018, the acquisition of XRE expanded Tescan’s capabilities in dynamic and micro-CT imaging, opening new possibilities in non-destructive analysis. Another milestone came in 2023. TESCAN ORSAY HOLDING and its subsidiaries were acquired by Carlyle, a U.S.-based private equity firm, marking a new phase of focused investment and global ambition.
Tescan Group is headquartered in Brno, Czech Republic, where most systems are designed, assembled, and tested. It’s here that engineering meets purpose and where systems built for discovery are prepared for work in the world’s leading laboratories.
