- Imaging by diffractive optics: Fresnel Zone Plate (FZP) + beamshaping optics. Outermost zone width 50 nm.
- Available imaging modes: Absorption-contrast and Zernike phase-contrast.
- Sample preparation by FIB/SEM allows imaging samples with a diameter 8-80 μm.
- Region of interest tomography (ROI) in Zernike microscopy available for samples with a diameter up to 2 mm.
