The microscope of the Future

The next era of electron microscopy will not be defined by resolution alone. It will be defined by throughput: how many good samples can be transformed into reliable, actionable data in the shortest possible time.

That is the principle behind our roadmap: sample in, data out.

Our roadmap for Cryo

In cryo, the bottlenecks run the length of the chain. The connections between steps are the story: an unbroken cold chain from wet sample to data.

METEOR 2.0

By Delmic

Cryo fluorescence microscope — integrated into your cryo-FIB/SEM system.

Eliminate sample transfers and guide lamella milling with precise fluorescence targeting, right inside your cryo-FIB/SEM system, thanks to its integrated fluorescence light microscope.

→ Integrated design reduces contamination risk and maximises imageable lamella area

→ Large field of view, fast-switching filter wheel, and smart tiling, stitching, and autofocus for rapid ROI identification

→ High-NA optics and a high-quantum-efficiency camera detect the faintest fluorescence at minimal excitation power, protecting lamellae from damage and devitrification

→ Easy-to-use, continually evolving software that minimises manual interaction and frees up your time

→ A future-proof system that adapts and evolves with your research in the fast-moving field of cryo-ET

METEOR Target

By Delmic

Accurate and efficient targeting for a variety of sample types.

Built on the proven METEOR 2.0 platform, METEOR Target adds four specialised workflows that cover the full range of cryo-ET targeting challenges — so precise ROI targeting holds up even when your samples get complex.

→ Odemis Advanced for automated, high-throughput milling of abundant ROIs in cells-on-grid

→ SuperZ Module for accurate z-targeting of sparse, spherical ROIs in cells-on-grid

→ FIB view FM for targeting “fiducial-less” waffle and HPF samples

→ eSRRF for precise (co)localisation studies, with enhanced XY resolution beyond the diffraction limit

→ Inherits METEOR 2.0’s core strengths: minimised ice contamination, fast screening, reliable ROI detection, and a future-proof architecture

Ice Shield

By Delmic

The ultimate protection against ice contamination during lamella preparation.

Inside the cryo-FIB/SEM chamber, amorphous ice keeps growing on your finished lamella — up to 200 nm thick over a long session, forcing you to accept lower-quality data or mill fewer lamellae. CERES Ice Shield’s cryo-shutter shields the sample locally, cutting ice growth to near zero.


→ Cryo-shutter protects the sample locally, dropping ice growth rates by roughly 90% (e.g. 14.2 → 1.6 nm/h)

→ Unlocks automated overnight batch milling that would otherwise leave lamellae unusable

→ Dramatically higher throughput — users report going from 2–7 lamellae per manual session to 16–25 in an automated overnight run

→ Seamless in use, with automated retraction and a FIB hole so it stays out of your way

→ Preserves data quality by keeping the final lamella thin and clean

The Clean Station

By Delmic

Ultra-dry sample handling and storage — for a higher-throughput, more reliable cryo-ET workflow.

Keep your samples contamination-free from handling to transfer to storage in an ultra-dry environment (<50 ppm H₂O), removing ice contamination — one of the biggest hidden costs in cryo-ET.

→ Protect your precious lamellae from contamination with a cleaner workflow
→ Get new users up to speed faster with a stable, forgiving workflow

→ Dedicate expensive cryo-FIB time to lamellae milling, not sample cleaning

→ Maximise operational flexibility by decoupling cryo-FIB and cryo-TEM time

→ Eliminate the need for an expensive, uncomfortable low-humidity room
